Hamsters carry their babies in their mouths primarily for safety and protection. This behavior allows the mother to move her young to a safer location if she perceives a threat or to keep them close while she forages for food. Additionally, it helps maintain the warmth and security of the pups, ensuring their survival during the vulnerable early stages of life.

How many weeks does a hamster carry its babies?

It depends on what hamster you have. Usually they are pregnant for 2 weeks. 14-16 days. If your hamster is pregnant for 20 days or over, like most people say, then there must be something wrong. I have 2 hamsters. A boy and girl and the girl has had babies 3 different times. Working on 4. So, I am pretty certain that a hamster has its babies in early 3 weeks after the mating. If your hamster is having babies, and you don't want more. Seperate the boy from the girl. After the girl has her babies she gives out this fuem kind of thing that attracks the male, and in another 2 weeks you will have babies. If you have a hamster, they usually have up to 10 babies.

They might cause a fight, if same gender, If not the same gender, the they will (most likely) have babies, and when a female hamster has babies, you have to help the babies come out. And if you touch the hamster babies AT ALL, the mother will eat them. I don't recommend buying another hamster.
