When the female hamster gives birth, it is very important not to touch the nest or babies and avoid cleaning the cage for the first 3 weeks or else the female hamster could panic and kill the hamster babies. If it is really necessary to 'clean' a cage area while the mother hamster is nursing her babies, you should only use a small piece of tissue to 'clean' the cage but avoid touching the nest area. Provide additional bread soaked in milk in a small food bowl as this will provided extra proteins both for the mother and baby hamsters. The cage should be placed in a quiet room and away from noises, since noises can cause the mother hamster stress. The babies can be separated from the mother hamster when they are 4 weeks old since at that age they are sexually mature. In the case of dwarf hamsters, you can keep the female baby hamsters with the mother and separate the male baby hamsters and keep them in another cage to avoid mating. Never introduce the male baby hamsters to the father since he will not accept them and the babies will be afraid.
do not touch them until they are about 3-4 weeks old..if she smells human scent on them she will eat them Do not touch them at all.If u have to change the bedding,just use a spoon to pick the baby up and put them aside.NEVER touch them.
When they are first born the mom will nurse them.
You can't its up to the mother and if you want them to not be eaten don't touch them till they are older then four weeks and make sure mama knows and she is calm!
Don't touch the baby hamsters because she'll smell your scent and eat them out of fear.
If your hamster just had babies, you would have to get a cage for each baby in a month if you're keeping them. If you are not, you could return the babies.
If you touch them before 5 weeks.
Well if you take away all of her babies then yes she will feel some lonesome and it may cause her to wine,scratch,runny nose.But if you leave at least one baby hamster with her she will not be upset and none of those symtyms above will happen.So i recomend you sell all of them(exept one.)and give the one you have not sold to the mother hamster and take care of her. p.s. you will not have to take care of the baby as much as you take care of the mother because the mother will take care of the baby but do feed her and love her as the mother hamster does. I HOPE I HELPED!!!(: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
