Infanticide was practicised, as was abandoning them in a public place. Those abandoned could die of exposure, or be taken in by wealthier families as either family members or slaves.

When can you handle newborn hamster pups?

Newborn pups are safe to handle when they start growing fur. The reason for not holding them when they're born is because if you get your scent on them the mother will think it's not her, therefore eat it. Ps: If your mother hamster has more babies then she can feed, take some babies out to give her a smaller litter to care for and nurse the other babies yourself. She will eat the babies if they're too much work for her. #jenna!<3


When can you handle a hamster mother?

It is safest to handle a hamster mother when it's ok to hold her babies as well (3 and 1/2 weeks). But you can take her out for short periods about a week after she's given birth, to give her a break from motherhood, and the babies will be fine also. Good luck!

Your guinea pig just had babies and you touched them will she abandon them?

no, unlike hamsters guinea pigs will happily let you touch or handle her babies, if the babies do not get distressed and you are very quiet you can hold them. you can even put another older female in with the mother and the female will help out and the mother can rest. if you give them some soft vegetables or bread and milk the babies will even take a nibble sometimes, they are very well developed. i know i used to breed guinea pigs


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.
