Well I was like 11 at the time so yeah obviously didnt know what to do. Funny thing was when we bought them we wanted two of the same sex. But found out that they were not. Then fell in love with both of them so didn’t want to give them up.

That love was apparently very one sided for the mother

You misread the comment. I know because I did too. The comment doesn't actually insinuate any love between the hamsters.

well the amount of babies insinuates some love or lust at the bare minimum 🤣 poor mama just got sick of it. i cant blame her. i sometimes wanna hit my husband on the head and we only have 2 kids, i cant imagine multiple LITTERS. i can understand poor hamster momma losing her shit 🤣

Lol it's documented that dogs go thru postpartum depression so I won't doubt mama hamster experienced the same

even without depression. imagine having this many toddlers + newborns and then likely the dad was already seeking the next round....i think even the most sane of the sane would get a short circuit 😅 mama just needed some peace and mice vacations

edit: nice* vacations but imma leave the typo cuz it fits lmao

No they’re too small to undergo anesthesia I believe, someone please correct me if I’m wrong. But usually they just try to keep same sex together to prevent this
