when I, anonymous x, will throw a missile on your house and kill you and your family and friends
At about 4 weeks.
after the baby hamster has been handled for a while sometimes the mother hamster will eat their young so be "careful".
After the baby hamster is old enough, it no longer needs its mother and starts to become an adult hamster of its own. The hamster needs to be separated to avoid fighting or mating with its mother, or even its father if he resides in the cage still, depending on the sex of the baby hamster.
the mother might reconize her baby. but the child will not. it really depeands on how long they have been separated. if the does reconize her baby she might want to protect it by eating it. the baby might want to fight the mother. so it might not be a good idea unless they have seprate cages. from Kennedy age 11
No, unless the "big hamster" is the baby's mother. However if you touch the baby hamsters the mother sense your smell and the mother could eat or kill it because of the smell. So don't touch the baby hamsters.
Is the adult hamster its birth mother?
it will abandon its baby.
You should never, under any circumstances, remove a baby hamster from the mother.
If the baby hamster was abandoned by its mother, its probably not healthy.
only if they have the scent of another hamster on them or if she does not want them.
Yes they do. A mother hamster usually feeds the puppies for two weeks after they are born.
Raising Hamster BabiesDo not disturb the litter for at least 14 days. If the nest is disturbed the mother may kill the babies and eat them. If one of the babies gets away from the others, don't worry, the mother will retrieve it. The cage should be cleaned two weeks after birth and the babies should be separated from the mother at 28 days. Also be sure to to separate the Mother and babies from the daddy hamster. The daddy hamster will harm the babies and the mom always needs to be with her babies.{
Its not advised to touch a new born baby hamster as the mother can be very protective.
