How do mice take care of their babies?
i find that mice do better if the mother has help( nanny) caring for her young. so basically the pregnant mom should NOT have to build the nest on her own so purchase another female mouse( the nanny) to help care for the babies. make sure the nanny and mom to be get along. and thats about all you do but heres what the mice will do nanny will make a nest. mom will have the babies. mom will feed the babies milk. nanny and mom will retrieve run away babies by grabbing them by loose skin 'even if the babies squeak DO NOT interfere. mom and nanny will groom the babies. the babies will grow up. now heres the disturbing part any BOY babies remaining in moms cage through adulthood will ( given the opportunity will MATE with mom, nanny and every sister they have! i breed mice so all the listed information are my observations!
Will the mama mouse eat her babies if you hold them?
What you should to do minimize the chance mom will eat her babies.Feed her a high protein diet. Wait 5 days before trying to handle babies. Remove mom while she is out of nest so she doesn't see you disturb it. Dirty your hand in mom's bedding before handling. Handle babies carefully. put them back in nest. Put mom back in. works nicely for me.

How far do Bald Eagles fly from there nest when sitting their eggs?
A parent is always present on the nest when there are eggs, they do shift work to find food and protect. If mom is out hunting dad is on the eggs, if dad is hunting mom is on the eggs. When the babies get old enough to keep themselves warm the parents might not be on the nest all the time but one is always close by
A robin's nest fell from it's roost under your deck you put in on a board in the same place will mom come back for the baby the mom has not been seen it was always in the yard everytime you looked?
if you touched the nest the mom will not come back because you got the human scent on it and the babies will die if you don't take them to a vet or care for them. Next time just leave them be.
What to do once a rabbit has babies?
Leave them alone. The mother has got the care of her babies covered. :) You SHOULD check the babies once they are born to make sure there are no dead babies in the nest. Then once a day to make sure none have died and mom is feeding them (full round bellies and sleeping). Wash your hands with unscented soap before you check the babies so you do not leave any unwanted scents on the babies. After they open their eyes (10 days) you will be able to see them peaking out of the nest without disturbing them.
How can you tell if your hamster had babies if shes hidden in her nest?
You can put your hand in the cage and pick up the bed very carefully and very softly and take a quick peek once you see them let new mom be alone and the babies will be out before you know it
