My hamster just had babies and she bites the cage bars and climbs all the way to the top and drops off!! What is her problem?? The babies are a few weeks old, by the way.
Also, I was wondering if my hamster babies will bite me if I try to hold them.
WHO EVER ANSWERS BOTH OF THESE QUESTIONS FIRST ANDS MAKES THE LEAST BIT OF SENSE WILL GET BEST ANSWER!!!!
Answers:
well if you dont have wood in the cage she is just trying to ware down her teeth and if you do have wood she migt just not like it andddddd she is prolly just stressed out.
the babie may try to bite you but if they do it probably wont hurt because there teeth are not bit at all. you might want to wait another week before you try to handle them so that they can sort of understand what is going on. when you pick them up, have there mom also.
they wont bite.and umm...hmmm..i guess shez happy or depressed cuz she just had babies
She is trying to get some alone time from the babies. I would give her something little to climb up on for alone time. It is okay for you to start picking the babies up. Just remember to wash your hands first so they don't smell funny to the mom after wards. Be extra careful that you don't drop them they are quite fidgety.
dont touch the babies until they are three weeks old and leave the mom alone so she wont get stressed its normal
If the babies are beyond two weeks (preferably three) and are eating solids on their own, try taking momma hamster out for a little while (10-15 minutes at most) to get some 'alone' time. She might just be stressed out or claustrophobic, or even just bored. Some quiet time in a running ball away from her kids should help, especially since she's been cooped up in her cage for the last couple weeks with nothing to do but nurse.
Also, once the babies hit four weeks, you should seperate and sex them to keep them from fighting or mating together, especially if the mom's already getting antsy from being around them so much. You don't want them to get too crowded.
The babies shouldn't bite (and if they try, I doubt it would hurt), but be careful when handling, as they do try to jump from your hand from time to time. Only handle them if they're past the two week mark (at least) and have fur and open eyes, because by that point the chances of momma rejecting them are less.
I had a dwarf to it is normal for her to chew on the cage and jump, umm the babies shouldnt bite just dot take them away from mom for long
its ok it just her hormones probably in a while she will stop
my hamster bits the cage bars 2 but she only does that to trim her teeth
