Best Answer

Keep them separated a much as possible. Putting them together only for feeding. Separate cages would be optimal.

Should you buy your hamster a companion since it is lonely?

You should not buy your hamster a companion.If your hamster is a dwarf hamster then you shouldn't because they weren't raised together and they may tend to fight. If they were raised together then it wouldn't be a problem. If you own a teddy bear hamster also known as the Syrian hamster you wouldn't be able to have a companion in the cage with them even if they were raised together. Once your Teddy Bear hamster has mated then you should remove the male hamster because he may eat the young. Especially after the mother has given birth you should keep the father separate or any other male hamster because as soon as she has given birth she goes into heat again and they will mate again and in a few days she will give birth again. Teddy Bear hamsters are sometimes known for eating their young. If your hamster has young then once they are weined from their mother's milk then you should remove them from the cage because she may eat her young.

What do you do when your hamster is eating its babies?

Don't do anything, because the reason why the hamster is even eating the baby is because it is scared the baby will not live in the environment it is in, while your hamster is "eating" her baby, stay away from it so it doesn't get mad or freaked out. Don't worry,, it is normal for your hamster to be eating its baby, mine ate hers.ANSWER:_DON'T_WORRY,_DONT_DO_ANYTHING,_hope_i_helped:)">ANSWER: DON'T WORRY, DONT DO ANYTHING, hope i helped:)DONT DO ANYTHING OR THE HAMSTER WILL GET SCARED AND (it might get bloody in that cage)
