Question
The lovely woman at the pet store told me i had purchased same sex hamsters.... Surprised yesterday morning with babies..... Everyone started freaking out saying the male would eat the babies... SO i put him in the lil apartment. But i feel so bad about it... I havent read anything on here that says that is true... can i let him out?

Answer

      If he you have syrian hamsters that is true, the male will eat the babies. If you have a dwarf hamster you can leave the male in the cage. He will help take care of the babies, but if he starts to eat them take him back out.

Thanks for writing
