Yes, hamsters do eat their babies, according to a blog post by a vet technician at TheSprucePets.comĀ hamsters will eat their babies when they are feeling stressed out, fearful, if they lack food, if the scent of the babies is different and if they are unable to care for the babies.

Ways to prevent hamsters from eating their babies are to make sure there's adequate food around them, keeping them in a low stress environment when giving birth and not touching new born hamster babies. Doing these things will dramatically increase the odds of hamsters not eating their babies.

Hope this clarifies some things for you. šŸ‘
