Question
does a hamsters dad eat the babies

Answer
Hi Caitlyn,

Nope, a dwarf hamster father will not eat the babies.  In fact, a dwarf father should stay in the cage with the mother and the babies.  He will help take care of the babies and reduce the mother's stress.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
