# She was stressed out by loud noises or the father. # The babies were touched by a human and therefore, had another scent on them. # The babies were deformed or had genetic disorders. # The mother was a first-time, inexperienced mother. Mothers may eat the babies for any of these reasons. I have found that the second birth is usually much larger and has a much better survival rate because the mother knew what was going on and what to do. The first litter was sort of a surprise to her and she had to learn the ropes.
No. The parents will eat the babies.
no! the male will eat the babies even if the male is their father!
No. The father will eat the babies and could impregnate her again once she has her litter. Back-to-back pregnancies cause stress and can kill a mother and her unborn litter or she may eat her current litter due to stress.
As soon as you realize she is pregnant, you should cage her separately and in a quiet place, away from the male. The female tends to be moody in that stage of being pregnant. If she is with the male she might eat the offspring.
don't touch them until they become 2 to 3 weeks old .. separate the father hamster from the mother hamster and the babies .
Once my two hamsters had babies, I separated the father from the mother permanently, because if you put the babies and the father together, the father could kill the babies because he thinks they will challenge him for leader of the cage.
no, just the mother and the babies would be best. the male could eat the babies or hurt them. Or the mother and father could fight at some stage. Also you should never leave a male and a female hamster in the same cage unsupervised because even if they get on really well, you never know if they could start fighting or annoying each other.
Yes, the father teddy bear hamsters do eat their babies so if your hamster has babies separate the male from them.
Yes it is. It's better for the relationship to be mother-son or father-daughter though, but your hamster babies should be perfectly normal.
Yeah you should be if you are the babies mother/father if you are not then she can stop you seeing him !!
