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)

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.

How can you tell if your hamster has an ear infection?

Some remedies you can try though if ear infection dose occur is dab a little bit of worm water on a soft cloth and gently rub it on your hamsters ear or get medication from a vet. but whatever you do don't get rid of it or drown it in water. Animals should NOT experience that kind of abuse.
