Baby Hamsters

[ElvenRangeress]

Okay about a few days ago I got two hamsters, both girls. One was pregnant and I had no idea ... anyhow today she gave birth (off an on all day) to about 5 hamsters, she ate and tore apart all but one. That one is currently wiggling, but she doesn't seem to be paying any attention to it, she's not nursing it what so ever. Its just lying there now looking as if its going to die, is there a way I could save its life if the mother isn't going to?

You could kill it and save its pain.

However, that won't save its life and I'm perfectly okay with that.

Did you touch the babies? Or someone else? I can't imagine why the mother would kill them all and not have the instinct to nurture them. Unfortunately, most likely the other baby is going to die as well.

Website on Hamster care. Some info there that might be able to help. Although the first bit only seems to help if you know beforehand...

Fucking idiot rats and all their sub-races.

Take this opportunity to take the mother and drown her. (or let her go if you're too soft) and get real animals (dogs, cats)

I respect Xcalibur so much more.

Christ almighty guys. She asked for a little bit of info and the most constructive thing you can come up with is tell her how many different ways to get it killed?

I've got a soft spot for hamsters and all but I don't see why the thread has to be derailed by mindless rodent hating.

Hamsters suck.

Go rats!

All 13 of my babies lived.
