My hamster just had babies, but 3 just died, so how do I keep them from dieing


Answer
You leave them alone. If you touch them, many times mom will kill them (this only applies until after they are leaving the nest on their own, which is around 10 days). The oils on your hand will make the babies smell wrong.

If this is mom's first litter, she might just be inexperienced. There's really not much you can do. Some hamsters don't make very good moms (just like any animal) and will always have fewer babies who live... but in most cases it's just the first-timers.

Just try to leave mom and babies alone, but make sure they have enough food (only mom will eat at this point, but if she fears a food shortage, she might kill the weaker babies).

Good luck!

Did you ever take a class where they gave you fake babies to take care of?

What class was it for? Did you have a partner? If so, did you choose your partner?
How long did you have to take care of it for? What exactly were the rules? Did you take it to your other classes with you?



Answer
It was a child development class. No their is no fake marriage or partners. I had to take care of it for 3 days. The rules were you cannot let the baby cry for more then 3 minutes and you cannot drop or cause any harm. If you let it cry longer then allowed it will be clocked in on the babies little timer as negligence and if you drop or hit it it will be clocked in as abuse. you will be given an armband with the key attached you cannot take the arm band off because it also has a sensor. You have to stick the key in the back of the baby and turn it and hold it for the baby to stop crying. I was a fool because i asked my teacher to give me the special needs baby that cried every 15 to 30 minutes. I am 29 and till this day i still dont want kids. That class works lol.
