What should i do I am getting to hamsters if they mate and she has babies should i get them out of the cage immediately so she doesn't eat them?

If she does have babies, take the male out so she WON'T eat them. She may get stressed. Also, don't get the baby hamsters out of the cage. They will probably die, and if you put them back in the cage, the mother hamster may eat them. Just watch the baby hamsters and the mother hamster. Hope this helped. DON'T TAKE THE BABIES OUT OF THE CAGE!!!!! With out the mom the babies will die. And if you put the babies back before they die she will eat them. Besure to take the male out yhe cage. If she feels like here babies are indangered she will eat them.good luck.

Does human handling of a baby goat cause the mother to reject the baby?

No. If the contact with the human is brief, the doe will still accept her kid back. If the kid has been taken away from the nanny goat for a couple days, then yes, there's a risk that the doe will reject her kid.

Do buzzards have?

As a matter of fact, the Buzzard does have babies. The parents of it take care of its babies taking watch. The mother buzzard might leave to find food, while the male buzzard watches his newborns to entertain them. When the mother comes back they switch. However, this time the mother waits for her husband by feeding the babies with the meat she has found.

Can a mother hamster and her girl babies stay together in one cage?

After birth, don't remove the babies from the mother ! Yes the mother might have the tendency to eat one or two of her offspring but this is her natural instinct to get back nutrients lost due to child birth to stay healthy. The baby hamsters need their mother's milk and don't ever touch the babies! Once they have your human scent, the mother will automatically eat her babies as she thinks they do not belong to her and see the younglings as a source of nutrients. After the hamsters are weaned from their mother, I usually advise for them to be moved to another habitat to reduce the chances of the mother and her offspring fighting one another for space and territory. Keeping one of her offspring with the mother is fine but do be careful as fights may occur any time once the mother does not see the young hamster as her child but an outsider.

How do ring tailed lemurs raise their young?

When the babies are born, they cling to their mother's belly and eventually move around to cling to her back. Like all mammals, the mother provides milk for her baby, plus she helps keep it clean by grooming. The babies also learn what to eat from their mother.

How do you tame a scorpion mo creatures?

Find a scorpion (mother) with bump-like things on its back. These are the babies. Kill the mother. She will drop 1-3 babies. Then you must right click them. When you right click them, you will be able to name them, and when they grow up, ride them. :)


What should you do after your hamster has babies?

After your hamster has babies the mother will care for them. The puppies will have no fur and are very small. If a baby strays from the nest the mother will carry it back in her mouth. The mother will feed the hamster from her milk until three weeks. At 5 weeks the puppies arte ready to leave the mother. If the hamster is a syrian this is the age when it must be separtated from its brothers and sisters.
