My dwarf hamster had 4 babies 13 days ago.. and has begun to attack the babies! Can I separate them already??

Answer 1

Hi. I am sorry about that. My aunt breeds them and it happens sometimes.Dwarf hamsters should be seperated from their mother at the age of 26/27 days. They are weaned earlier, but should stay with their mother a bit longer to learn from her. They can breed at an age of around 32-42 days.

I go to this website a lot when I have a question.http://www.hamsters.co.uk/ I have 4 hamsters myself but I don't breed them because I don't have the time for a village.:)

Answer 2

if you are afraid that she will kill them you could saperate them and hand feed them. which means giving them milk about every hour. I have dwarf hamsters hamsters of my own and have had hamsters for a long time. you can buy a small syringe from pharmacies to use as feeding tools. but do not over feed them. you can use kittens milk formula which is available in most pet shops. you will also need to keep them warm and comfortable.

Answer 3

I think the mother weans the babies after 14 days, so it should be safe by now. call your vet to be sure.
