Mothers may bite their pups during nursing as a way to establish boundaries and teach them proper behavior. This biting can also serve as a form of discipline, helping the pups learn to be more gentle and respectful during feeding. Additionally, it can stimulate the pups and encourage them to nurse more effectively. Overall, this behavior is part of the natural maternal instinct to ensure the pups grow up healthy and well-adjusted.

What happens if hamster mom eats its pups?

If a hamster mom eats some of her pups, don't worry. It's natural. It means she doen't think she can handle all the pups so cuts down the numbers. If you don't give the mom enough to eat and drink, she will kill her pups and save them a long death of dehydration or starvation. Also, if you touch the pups, she might reject them, or eat them to protect them. It sounds wierd, but it's just nature.
