My roborovski hamster mother gave birth to babies the 2nd time..but all babies dies. She does not want to nurse or feed them..can anyone tell me why? I thought all mother hamsters will take care of their babies naturally...

Well, just like humans, sometimes they are just not cut out to be mothers. This is the hard truth of nature. Yes, many, many animals in the wild have been known to abandon their babies. And I suggest that you should probably seperate these babies from the mother because if she is ignoring them and continues to ignore them, she might eat them. Mother hamsters have also been known to do that. You should probably also take the mother and babies to the nearest small animal vet and talk to them about how to care for the babies if the mother will not.

the mum will attempt this, go away them on my own, do not contact them in the different case the mum will experience the smell of a human and the mum will kill them. This comes from my Granddaughter Michaela the Hamster professional.

Have you touched the babies? I wouldnt do that. If they have other scents on them, sometimes the mother will not touch them. Sometimes she'll KILL them if you touch them, so be careful and think a little more carefully about it.

Not all Gods Creatures are perfect & smart! sometimes it takes a litter or 2 for them to figure it out! I guess if I were you I would not breed her again!
