What else can I help you with?
What do I do if I have a hamster that had babies and they are now a week old and one looks ill but then the mum tried eating the sick baby so I managed to get him away and how do I feed the poor baby?
Did you happen to hold the baby?!?! Your action might harm the babies and change its scent thus confuses the mother. She will think that they are not hers, abandon them and worst she might even eat the babies. If you did hold the baby the mother probably stoped feeding it which made it sick. === === === === * Separate the sick hamster from other hamsters if you are afraid that the sickness/disease could be contagious. * Clean up the cage and if possible sterilized all parts including toys, tubes, bottles and wheels. * All used bedding and unfinished foods should be discarded. * Keep the sick hamster in a quiet place away from any noisy environment to keep the hamster calm and prevent any further stress * Provide the sick hamster with enough water * In the mean time, monitor health condition of other hamsters for the same symptoms. I'm very sorry but there is probably nothing you can do to save him/her. Just make sure you don't make the same mistake with the other hamsters.
How do you nurse baby hamster when mother hamster has died?
This is what you do. There are two things you can do. One is put some milk into a medicene dropper and put it in their mouths. Or buy another girl hamster(same kind) and take some bedding out of the new mom hamster and rub the baby hamsters in it. Put on of the baby hamsters that was rubbed in the new mom's bedding and put it with the new mom. If the mom doesn't eat it do the same things with rest. Hope this helps!

How do mother hamster take care of their young?
When the female hamster gives birth, it is very important not to touch the nest or babies and avoid cleaning the cage for the first 3 weeks or else the female hamster could panic and kill the hamster babies. If it is really necessary to 'clean' a cage area while the mother hamster is nursing her babies, you should only use a small piece of tissue to 'clean' the cage but avoid touching the nest area. Provide additional bread soaked in milk in a small food bowl as this will provided extra proteins both for the mother and baby hamsters. The cage should be placed in a quiet room and away from noises, since noises can cause the mother hamster stress. The babies can be separated from the mother hamster when they are 4 weeks old since at that age they are sexually mature. In the case of dwarf hamsters, you can keep the female baby hamsters with the mother and separate the male baby hamsters and keep them in another cage to avoid mating. Never introduce the male baby hamsters to the father since he will not accept them and the babies will be afraid.
Can you keep the boy robo hamster with a pregnant robo hamster?
you could but fist think if u want more then 20 robo hamsters if so then yes.also once they grow larger they will need larger space since they are the smallest hamster kept as a pet.to stop your hamsters from breeding then separate them.when they have litters you should not disturb (which means no handling it,no cleaning the cage)them.If you do disturb them,then the next day your hamster babies will be eaten from the mother or she would stop taking care of it.during the following days you should watch and wait till 3-4 weeks later to handle them.by that time you should start feeding them dry and fresh food.(do not feed them cooked,salted,sweeten and rotted food)anyway for now if it is 1 week old the mother will feed her milk. PS:i have 2 robo hamsters which gave birth to 4 cute hamster babies: mother:the four babies: have fun with your hamsterZ!
What do you do if your hamster forgets one of her babies out of her house?

What would a mother hamster do if you pick her up after her babies were born?
it depends on what hamster you have, your supposed to leave them for at least a week, but i touched them the day they were born and the mother was fine, all you can do is leave the cage door open once you've placed the baby back and see the mothers reaction, keep a small wooden chewing stick handy to distract the mother if she tries to attack, if this happens remove the baby and go to the vets so they can help you keep the baby alive as you will have to feed it until its old enough for solids

Do babies have discharge?
My first baby that I ever had, did NOT have discharge. If your baby does, it is probably because your baby wipes are infected or you keep shoving your dirty hands up your baby's behind. Be a good mother, think about the children.

What should you do if a mother hamster doesn't want her newborn baby?
Animals such as Hamsters and other creatures abandon their young for mostly one reason. It is in the opinion of the Mother Hamster that something is wrong with her baby. I could be physical or mental, but the likely hood of survival to her of the infant isn't good. By all means if you wish take the baby from the mother once you make sure there will be no bonding between them. Find out all you can how one can help feed and maintain a baby Hamster, that is if you are sure you wish to do this. It sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Yet keep in mind the baby may die at any rate, and don't blame yourself if this happens as we don't know it's true health condition, Good Luck.
