Best Answer

You take care of the other babies by putting them in separate cages.

DON'T TOUCH THE BABIES UNTIL THEY HAVE HAIR. The mother probably ate some of the babies because:

1. She felt threatened.

2. She might have needed more protein.

Other reasons the mother may eat the babies is if the litter is too large for the mother to care for all the young or if the babies have already died on their own. Are you sure the mother actually killed them?

What are some tips to have when a female hamster has a litter of hamsters?

You should not touch the baby hamsters until they are 6 weeks old. Don't play with the mother hamster. If you touch the baby hamsters before 4 weeks the mother hamster might eat her babies. Give extra food because the mother might think that there isn't enough food and kill some of her babies. Don't be surprised when the mother eats her baby because the baby might be sick. I never had a female hamster but I read all this from a book. Good Luck!

This is what you do. There are two things you can do. One is put some milk into a medicene dropper and put it in their mouths. Or buy another girl hamster(same kind) and take some bedding out of the new mom hamster and rub the baby hamsters in it. Put on of the baby hamsters that was rubbed in the new mom's bedding and put it with the new mom. If the mom doesn't eat it do the same things with rest. Hope this helps!


What do baby hamsters eat besides mother hamsters milk?

I'm pretty sure all baby hamsters eat for the first few days or weeks is their mothers milk but as long as you put a cucumber or broccoli eventually they will learn how to eat solid food. Just make sure you do not touch the babies or else the mother will eat her babies. You could try putting some bread soaked in milk in a little bowl in their cage, but don't take my word for it. I'm sure someone else would have a better answer than me. Your Welcome!

Do dwarf hamsters have there babies all at once?

It depends. Sometimes they can, my hamster did. But some might get stuck in the mother, and either die, or she/he will just come out. But if the baby stays in to long after all of the other ones have been born, then the mother is mostly likely to take it out with her mouth, and eat it. That's what happened to me. Hope this helps!


Will petsmart take baby hamsters?

Hamsters are some of the most prolific mammals on Earth. They make rabbits look celibate. There is no shortage of baby hamsters, and it is unlikely that you will be able to sell them. Answer If you have a hamster with a calm personality, who likes being held, you might investigate breeding your hamster. Certainly, you would want to contract with a pet store before having babies.


Can hamsters eat other hamsters?

Yes, most likely when a mother has babies.Only some others like older ones are just aggressive. So make sure if you want 2 in one cage make sure they are social and are a non-aggressive species. When you have baby hamsters with a mother it is best for you to not touch them. Your smell will stick to the baby hamsters. The mother will become frightened and will attack the baby hamsters if necessary. Some of the weaklings will get eaten too.
