my hamster is eating her babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question
why did my hamster eat her babies i didnt touch them look at them not even looked at the mom and now there ar only 2 left and im afraid that she will eat them two wat should i do?

Answer
Hi Wendy,

It sounds like you are a very good hamster mother. I would leave the babies be as if they do get eaten they may be sick or dieing. However, they may get eaten if the momma hamster feels shes not ready for pups yet. Is momma hamster old? If you do remove them they will die anyways as it is just about impossible to feed them and keep them warm without the mother. I would just let them be and hope for the best. I hope everything works out for you. GOOD LUCK!
