Today, my hamster gave birth. The babies were very cute and I couldn't resist petting one. Apparently touching a baby hamster will cause it's mother to reject and devour it. I am now know in my family as "The Hamster Slaughterer." FML

Today I was born, and this strange creature towered over my mother and my siblings, and touched one of my siblings. Later my mother decided to eat the sibling that the creature touched. Now I am terrified of being petted. FML

I'm sorry to hear that. I honestly didn't know that fact either. I don't blame you because you didn't know and therefore didn't purposely do it.

You're probably 12 and shit and going to be scarred for life. Poor you. You didn't know. I didn't know either, though.,I've never had hammys.

Hamsters eat their babies all the time. It probably wouldn't have made a difference whether the OP touched the baby or not.

YDi for not researching anything BEFORE you let you hamster get pregnant. If you didn't know you had a male and a female hamster (because it's hard to tell their sex when they are young), you should have separated them until you were able to tell. Not knowing their sex is NOT an excuse. Separate them until you know to prevent this kind of thing.

When my hamster had babies I picked them up right away and all of them lived. I don't think that's true that they eat their babies because that never happened to me and I've had several of them
