My hamsters had a litter, what happens if I rid of the litter? How can I figure out the mother?

Question

I can't have baby hamsters, I have five grown dwarf hamsters as it is.

Answer 1

all i can say is your a dumbass. if you can't have babies, you should have separated the males and females. you are lucky i don't know where you live.

Answer 2

They are just babies. Let them grow and then give them away to people you know or post adds for them. Don't kill them just cause you don't want them.

Answer 3

nothing will happen, hamsters are at the top of the list for short attention spanned animals, the mother wont even remember she had babies, in a few days, and everything will be back to normal, just get rid of them quick

Answer 4

dont let them die! just wait until theyre old enough to be taken away from her (she'll take full care of them and it will only be a few weeks) and sell them to a local petstore or to people as pets.

im sure you can just let them stay for a few weeks where the mother will be taking full care of them, then you can just sell them instead of killing them!

And next time dont let them get pregnant in the first place!

Answer 5

Well I would reccommend giving the hamsters back to the pet shop, although there they feed them to snakes.  So if you're sure you can't have the hamsters, then sell them to the store or too people, but not until they're about 2 or 3 weeks old so they can wein off their mother.  The mother... I'm surprised you didn't see her get big or eat more than normal or anything.  The mother may be a little bigger than the rest... and sorry I don't know how to help you in this area.

Good luck
