Isolate the pregnant female from other hamsters, pets, people, and other distractions. Mother hamsters usually eat their babies because they feel threatened and cannot protect them. Male hamsters may eat babies, especially not their blood kin, as a way to ensure their own security.

Never handle the mother or babies until the young are several days old and the mother feels comfortable in taking care of them.
