When mommy hamsters eat there baby hamster's dose that mean that they are ready to go?

Answer 1

They can especially if you touch the baby and get your scent on it while it's still young. You should refrain from going near the mother and babies for a few weeks. If the mother still eats one of the babies, don't be alarmed because it may still happen, and there's not much you can do to stop that (they usually have a reason to, just as mother birds will push sick babies out of the nest before they can fly)

Answer 2

When a hamster eats her babies, it probably means she is either too old, too young, or very stressed. At the age of 4-5 weeks old, the babies must be separated into separate gender cages otherwise the mother may attack them.

For first time breeders (and sometimes experienced breeders) this is quite common, and you should remember that research is important to avoid complications.
