hiĀ everyone, im new (obviously)
err, did you touched her babies before? having reared hamsters since i was 5 thought me that if you touch the baby then the mother will most probably eat it. i dont know why but i think its because unfamiliar scent thats not hers on her baby so she thought thats not her baby. therefore, ngap ngap.
im so sorry but dont blame the mummy. i usually put the mummys cage in the corner or simply cover it with kain so that she will feel that her babies are safe. until the babies open their eyes and can eat by themselves.
nvr touch them but i read somewhere that u could at least touch them n change the bedding when they r 2 weeks old...
besides the mom ate him when i was asleep....and b4 i went and took a nap i see both of them sleeping together...
the weird thing is the baby is full of fur d and eye open...its like he can live without the mom d...
its like all a sudden she attack...food wise i give enough food n water...so im clueless why she killed the baby...
and yea the baby sometimes go to the food bowl and eats by himself...not blaming but ermmm kinda pissed for awhile...
was really hoping things would be fine coz its my 1st time having a baby hammie...
