Females will if they are disturbed and scared. They are just acting on the decision that if a predator finds the nest and eat the babys, the mother will have lost nutriants, but if she eats the babys, then she will get them back again! Just nature, but try not to disturb the female or she may cannabalize.
Basically, don't disturb and poke around the nest and don't touch the babys!
cuz you touch yourself at night
Yes, the father teddy bear hamsters do eat their babies so if your hamster has babies separate the male from them.
If she does have babies, take the male out so she WON'T eat them. She may get stressed. Also, don't get the baby hamsters out of the cage. They will probably die, and if you put them back in the cage, the mother hamster may eat them. Just watch the baby hamsters and the mother hamster. Hope this helped. DON'T TAKE THE BABIES OUT OF THE CAGE!!!!! With out the mom the babies will die. And if you put the babies back before they die she will eat them. Besure to take the male out yhe cage. If she feels like here babies are indangered she will eat them.good luck.
They actually only eat their babies when they sense that they are in danger or someone has touched them.
never ever put syrian or dwarf hamsters cannot be put together because they fight but boys and girls do not (but they have babies obviously!) they fight and it can lead to death!!! :(so dont do it!!! Edit: Actually, male and female hamsters will also fight in between mating and the male will eat the babies or stress out the mother so much that she will eat them. Hamsters are solitary creatures by nature and so it is best to keep them apart once they aren't babies anymore.
Yes they so but only sometimes when baby hamsters are born don't touch them until they grow a coat because if you touch the hamster when its a baby it will gain human smell so the mom will eat it and either way the male will eat it anyway when its a baby so put the male hamster in a different cages

hamsters DO NOT eat their babies.
Yes,if you touch there babies in two weeks of birth.
the dads will eat the babies cuz they think that they are food
O hamsters are not vegetarians. One reason is that if you breed them they might eat there babies. Another thing is they eat mealworms.
yes.. either that or they'll fight until the baby dies.
only if you touch the babies
No only seahorses do. Gerbils eat there dead.
It is very important that you do not touch the baby hamsters because then the mother will smell human on them, and she will eat the babies. What you need to do is transfer the babies with a plastic spoon or something to another location. The mother will eat her babies. So you want to keep them separate. After the babies are removed, clean the cage as usual.
No because the mother hamster is taking the baby hamsters to a safer place.
No. The parents will eat the babies.
No there mouths r not big enough
