The only reason hamsters would eat their young is because you touched them while she was looking. If she actually does swallow them, then oh well. Although if you see her cheeks are enlarged, that means she is going to put them in diiferent places to protect them.
Nothing, it contains nutrients that the hamster didn't get the first time around. By eating it they are just getting the nutrients again.
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!
A mother who eats her young is typically referred to as a cannibalistic mother. This behavior can occur in certain species of animals, such as spiders or hamsters, as a response to stress, lack of resources, or genetic abnormalities.
If the mother is very young or if she is under stress she sometimes eats the babies,
They can especially if you touch the baby and get your scent on it while it's still young. You should refrain from going near the mother and babies for a few weeks. If the mother still eats one of the babies, don't be alarmed because it may still happen, and there's not much you can do to stop that (they usually have a reason to, just as mother birds will push sick babies out of the nest before they can fly)
Teddybear hamsters die because if someone touches a baby, the mother eats the baby.
The mother would never eat them. For the father, it depends
if it eats to much of it
It could get indigestion? Only feed your hamster what the store you bought them from tells you to or what the vet recommends. Mine eats pellets though and sometimes I give it sunflower seeds but this is already an adult hamster.
no!
when your hamster eats to much it could not actually be eating the food it could be hiding it somewhere in the cage but if your hamster is eating to much you should try removing the food bowl for a day or two but nothing happens when your hamster eats to much it just gets chubby.
The hamster's size has no bearing on gender. A hamster that eats a lot and doesn't get much exercise, will get gat.
