when the female hamster gives birth, put the male hamster into another cageand you should separate the babies from there parents when they are 3 weeks old because in many cases the female will eat the babies. Do not play with baby hamsters until they can see because most baby hamster are born blind. Also make sure that you give them extra bedding so that they don't get cold because all baby hamsters are born furless. Also when they are 3 wks old, separate the female and male baby hamsters as they will mate and it's not good for hamsters to give birth at a young age as they will die faster.

∙ 16y agoMake sure the daddy is not in the same cage (they have been known to eat them) Leave the babies alone--the mother has already made the bed for them before she gave birth. If you mess with the babies to much the mother might eat them--so be careful--I have also been bitten by a grouchy momma.

∙ 14y agodo not touch it or the hamster will eat it you can only touch it if it has fur the mummy hamster will take care of it and it will feed it milk if the mummy hamster ate the baby it means that the baby is dead so really you do not have to do any thing because the mummy hamster will look after it you can watch the baby hamster but do not touch it.

∙ 14y agowell it is very unlikly for a mother hamster to eat her babies if you think the babies are anoying her and she is getting so mad she could rip their heads off separate them for a couple of days then slowly put them back in and see how their bonding but to be on the safe side after youv'e put them back in let them sleep without each other for another couple of days then try and let them be together all the time and see how it goes.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY! The hamster will eat its young in order to protect them, just leave them alone for about a week, then you can touch your hamster like normal.

∙ 12y agoWhen a hamster eats her babies(which is fairly common), you should separate them, and don't let the mom have other babies. If she does have more, she may eat them too out of habit

Does the mother hamster get sad when you take away her babies after four weeks?
Well if you take away all of her babies then yes she will feel some lonesome and it may cause her to wine,scratch,runny nose.But if you leave at least one baby hamster with her she will not be upset and none of those symtyms above will happen.So i recomend you sell all of them(exept one.)and give the one you have not sold to the mother hamster and take care of her. p.s. you will not have to take care of the baby as much as you take care of the mother because the mother will take care of the baby but do feed her and love her as the mother hamster does. I HOPE I HELPED!!!(: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
