sometimes they will EAT it or take care of it it depends on the size of the litter
after the baby hamster has been handled for a while sometimes the mother hamster will eat their young so be "careful".
No, unless the "big hamster" is the baby's mother. However if you touch the baby hamsters the mother sense your smell and the mother could eat or kill it because of the smell. So don't touch the baby hamsters.
Is the adult hamster its birth mother?
it will abandon its baby.
You should never, under any circumstances, remove a baby hamster from the mother.
If the baby hamster was abandoned by its mother, its probably not healthy.
only if they have the scent of another hamster on them or if she does not want them.
Yes they do. A mother hamster usually feeds the puppies for two weeks after they are born.
After the baby hamster is old enough, it no longer needs its mother and starts to become an adult hamster of its own. The hamster needs to be separated to avoid fighting or mating with its mother, or even its father if he resides in the cage still, depending on the sex of the baby hamster.
Its not advised to touch a new born baby hamster as the mother can be very protective.
Baby hamster's only drink their mother's milk and they proceed to eat hamster food once they're weaned.
If you touch the baby hamster, your scent will get on it and the mother will not reconized it. If you separate a hamster before it is three weeks old, then it can die. It needs it's mother for... Other purposes that it cannot give itself
