Has your beloved pet hamster just given birth? It’s time to put a “Do Not Disturb” sign at the door so you can deal with the situation without any unnecessary distractions. A mother hamster does not like distractions too, and it can get flustered. If it gets flustered or agitated or gets exposed to stressors, it may neglect, abandon, or worse, eat her babies. You should certainly let the hamsters spend some “me time” on their own except when you need to bring her freshwater and food. She should be free from stress for at least several weeks. During the same period, you should not handle the hamster babies, particularly during the first two weeks. Control yourself and avoid cleaning the enclosure for those first two weeks (you can do spot cleaning, though) so you can reduce the disturbance to the mother hamster and her litter. You can handle the irresistibly cute baby hamsters after that period.
