Hi. I'am David from Srilanka. I have 3 Syrian hamsters. 1 male and 2 females. All the hamsters are separated in different
cages. My brown female syrian hamster mated and got pregnant. After 18 days she put babies. and she killed all her babies. I saw that from my own eyes. I cried. What else can i do. Then i bought a white female syrian hamster. She also mated and got pregnant. And after 18 days she put babies today. And she too killed all her babies. She ate her babies while they were coming out of her stomach. She pulled her pink babies with her teeth and ate them. Today i pulled 4 dead half babies. I am typing this with tears. I put wood hides in the hamster' cages while they were pregnant. I am very upset. Can you give me some advice to stop this cannibalism. Please i want your help.
Thankyou
-David
I am an animal lover. Every one hate my hamsters. But i tell them that i have a brother and 2 sisters. I consider them as my siblings. I am the only child in the family. I love my hamsters more than my self. Please help me. Please.

@ Woanlim: If your hamsters are
Syrian hamsters, then they are fighting for real even though you see them sleeping together. Syrian hamsters are solitary animals and eventually by time the bossy one will not let the subordinate one eat and will hurt each other.
If they are
Dwarf hamsters then they do play fights but sometimes it can also be real. For Dwarf hamsters the only way to know whether they are fighting for real or not is that if they fight for real you will eventually see bruises, cuts and blood, in that case you will have to separate them. If you do not see blood in the case of Dwarf hamsters, then they are just playing.
So if you have Syrian hamsters you must separate them.
If you have Dwarf hamsters, then follow the 2nd paragraph above.
Kind regards

Hello. I just recently got myself two hamsters. A male and a female white winter. How do i know if they are play fighting or fighting for real? :O the female one squeals and rolls around when the male attacks her. but after the fights they usually cuddled up together. Both are from the same cage from the pet store. thnks :)
