Answer 1

dont let your brother go any way near the hamsters. make sure he knows that if he touches them the mother will eat them.

Answer 2

Make sure your brother doesn't touch it OR if it does happen that he does, take the baby, make sure it's always in a warm place and you feed it milk especially made for rodents or milk powder for kittens. ( kitten milk is very good for them)...make sure there environment is ALWAYS clean also.

Answer 3

hi ive had hamsters all my life dwarfs and sybrians and ive hand reared them u can only touch them after 14 to 20 days old not before but ive touched when they born but u got to rub there scent on your hands first but dont take a baby away from the mother if she had any more because they can even have more because they can store sperm in another sac and get pregnant again they breed like ought dont let your brother near the cage get a lock for the cage door

Answer 4

Don't allow your brother to touch the babies until they are 3 weeks old. The mother will kill her babies if anyone else touches them since the scent on the baby changes due to the touch. The least you can do is to keep the cage in a safe place away from your brother so as to protect those little lives. And don't think that you can take the baby away from the mother just becoz you have touched it, without the mother hamster, babies less than 2 weeks old seldom survive how much ever you take good care of them.

Answer 5

All I have to say is.. TAKE THE BABIES OUT AND BOTTLE FEED THEM!

Answer 6

I don't think you should keep a male and a female hamster together is you're sure what you're doing, and the fact that your brother can and has messed with the babies.. well all I can suggest is that you just don't let it get pregnant again, if it isn't already. :/
