My hamster was eaten by a stray cat not long ago.. sigh... anyway, I'm not planning to keep hamsters for the time being. Selling off my habitrail mini cage to whoever that's interested. Do check my sig. (sorry yyh for the small advertising. Hope you don't mind.)

@foo
errr... the bottom there yellow yellow wan.. yucks.. dirty. LOL..

errr... if it was me... i would try to give them food with my hand and see whether they'll bite it.

Your lack of research prior to breeding hamsters is basically your own fault. Take it as a lesson. No point being all sad over it already. The most probable thing that happened is that your male hamster caused chaos in the cage. Female hamsters tend to be protective when they have babies. Especially if it's a syrian hamster.. why didn't you separate them? Most likely the female felt threatened by the male, they fought.. and when some animals felt threatened, they eat their own babies because it's better for them to eat them rather than letting other predators have their babies.

Sigh.. if you don't quite understand what i've said above.. here's the conclusion. Your main mistake ---> Not separating the male and female hamster.

no problem.. just do remember to read up more and learn first before venturing into new territory. You can always ask here before trying something. We have our in-house expert, hun aka crazymouse.
