What type of milk do you feed a baby hamster when mother hamster has died?

if the mother is dead the baby hamster needs to be introduced to a new mother that has babies of a similar age at the moment, but the mother will kill it if she thinks it isn't hers and to trick her into thinking its hers you must rub her used bedding all over the baby hamster and put it in with her litter.

∙ 12y agoGoats milk formula would probably be best. A few years ago we had to take care of a baby mouse and our vet told us to use goats milk formula for it. They should be fed each hour, since their size makes them get hungry often. Cows milk is very strong and shouldn't be used as it will damage their digestive organs.

Should you remove the baby hamster that have already died?
Yes, you should. Unless you want your cage to be smelt of death. I left my dead baby hamster for a a few hours to allow the mother and her other babies to feed on the dead baby --- this gives proteins, nutrients and energy to the Mama hamster and keeps her healthy and nourished so that she can feed her babies with enough milk. After that, I removed the dead baby hamster. If you can not tolerate the gruesomeness of it, I suggest you remove it before the guts spill. But, it's good to give the mother more nutrients. (: Hope this helps!

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!
How do you feed a baby hamster?
Put whatever you're feeding to the baby hamster in an eye dropper or medicine dropper. Don't touch your baby hamster until they are three weeks. The mom will probably do the feeding, though.
