If a hamster mom eats some of her pups, don't worry. It's natural. It means she doen't think she can handle all the pups so cuts down the numbers. If you don't give the mom enough to eat and drink, she will kill her pups and save them a long death of dehydration or starvation. Also, if you touch the pups, she might reject them, or eat them to protect them. It sounds wierd, but it's just nature.
