Any bedding that is scented is a no no for rodents.... lemon, apple... ai, not good. Like what Reanne said.... the phenols and chemicals in the bedding can harm the hamster. This is why majority of hamster keepers these days use wood pellets, recycled paper cat litter and corn cob. Chipsi Super is quite ok since it uses Beech wood which is safer than softwood... but it still smells strange to me...
There is no way you can avoid the mom from cannibalizing the babies. Sometimes the pup died for nothing so naturally the mom would eat the body to clean up the cage.... or maybe the pup born cacat? Then the mom would end its life....
Just leave her alone. I would say never place the male back since the male will automatically breed with her again. It may sound nice where the male got teman the female blah blah.... but we must think of the outcome later.
Leave extra food, feed mealworms. Scrambled eggs is better. The yolk has nutrition while the egg white is high in protein.
Cover the cage, place in a quite place that has no direct sun light. Keep the water bottle full and food bowl full with the normal hamster food. That is enough. Only begin to touch the mom and babies when already 2 weeks old.
If between those 2 dwarf... i like WW coz they look like they are wearing shoes LOL.... got thick padded feet. Campbells and Syrians got mousy feet.
Robos cute but not handle friendly.... So this is why I do not like.
Among the three.... WW lah... but I like Syrian also since their personality and size is good to handle.
Maybe your hamsters do not drink enough water.... coz when hamsters drink lots of water, they pee more and smell more.
Hahah... BC is memang best.
Yes, the RC male will help to take care of the babies.... well, from what I have seen, the male will never be aggressive towards his own pups and will sometimes sleep with them or eat with them. Robos do that too. Aiyah, almost all dwarf species make good mom and dads.... but its just that if we put them together, sure will have pups very often.
