Dwarf hamsters typically carry their babies in their mouths for short distances, often just a few seconds to a couple of minutes, when moving them to a safer location or rearranging their nest. This behavior is natural and is part of their maternal care. However, they do not keep them in their mouths for extended periods, as the babies need to be placed back in the nest for feeding and warmth.

How do you change a hamsters cage with 12 baby hamsters?

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.
