if she is eating her babies that means she doesn't think it's her's.the way 2 prevent that is not to touch the babies until their eyes have opened or if they are about 2-3 wks old, because if u do touch them then ur scent is on them now-not her's.

When i disturb my hamster from sleeping and eating he never squeals or bites me is this normal?
Apart from the fact that you're not supposed to disturb your hamster when it's sleeping or eating, normally a hamster would bite if you did that. It might be that your hamster is simply not aggressive at all, or on the other hand it could be that it's too weak to defend itself because it's ill. It would be best to take the hamster to the vet's just in case to see there's nothing wrong with it.
How can you tell when a hamster is about to give birth?
If you let your matured hamster be with a matured male hamster, it is most likely she will mate. When a hamster is pregnant, its stomach will look rounded, giving her a pear-like shape. She will also have a gestation period from 13-14 days. I think that means sleeping a lot. And after 16 days of pregnancy, she will finally give birth. Your hamster would know when she's about to give birth and start making a nest. I'm not really sure but I hope these helped. yah well guess what it didnt ur wrong dude or wat ever u r it depends wat type of hamster you have a dwarf hamster will give birth in about 18-21 days! look it up before you say stuff!
Do most mother hamster eat their babies?
No, hamsters only eat their young if they're ill in any way. Or hamsters eat their young if they have been touched by any human being. In this case, she will try to harm them. The baby has a different smell. The smell of a predator and she will do everything and anything to protect the lives of her other young. If this happens; separate the young from the mother immediatly. This puts the baby hamster at risk for survival but its the best thing at the time. ^^^ wrong! yes they do eat their babies if they think it will be a challenge or if you touch them. do NOT take the ababies away from the mother for they will not be able to survive. You cannot do anything about the mother eating them it is very common and don't freak out and take them away because they will die either way. Maybe the mother will leae some. Seperate the father from the mother and babies depending on the breed. Hey, who ever wrote the second time, there wrong. I should know, I own a hamster breeding shop! The first person is exactly right!

Can you put a preagnent hamster in water a make the babies come out?
No, do not do that, it will kill the babies and distress the mother hamster. The babies will be born when they are ready. If you think there is something wrong with your hamster please take it to see an animal doctor (A Vet) to get it help.

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.
How do you get a hamster to breed with a different kind of hamster?
If you try to breed two different types of hamster together, then the chances are that the new babies will have something wrong like missing limbs or no eyes, whiskers etc. Also, the babies could die just after birth or have illnesses that you can't cure.
What could be wrong with your young female hamster if she is showing signs of pregnancy but you don't own a male hamster?
Well, you probably got her at a pet store that housed both male and female hamsters together, and usually when you buy a hamster from a place like this, a female hamster is usually pregnant. So remember that next time you buy a hamster, purchase one at your local Petco, I have bought 3 hamsters from there and none of them have ended up pregnant. If your hamster is pregnant and has babies NEVER clean out the cage or touch them until they grow fur. Touching them can make their mother no longer want to care for them anymore. Good luck!!!
Why shouldn't you have a hamster?
Well, if you get two boys they can be very aggresive, sometimes they can even kill each other! And if you get of each different gender, they can mate, but it's not what you think, if you think that 10 little soft babies and parents raising them, you are TOTALLY wrong. Since the female is about to have babies she doesn't want them to get killed by the male, so she bites the head off of the male, and feeds it to her babies, so that the male doesn't eat the babies. This will always happen if the two genders are stuck in the same cage together, and can't get out. But it's way better if you get just one hamster, so no oter hamster can kill it. (Sorry if I freaked you out!!)
