3. Which animals eat their own babies?
Cannibalism among animals, particularly the act of eating their own offspring, is more common than one might think and can occur for various survival reasons. For example, some rodents, like rats and hamsters, may eat their own young if they are stressed, perceive a threat, or if resources are scarce. Fish, such as the guppy, sometimes consume their fry due to overpopulation or lack of food. Even some bird species, like the African black eagle, may exhibit this behavior if one chick is significantly weaker than the others. Amphibians, like certain types of frogs, may also eat their tadpoles to conserve resources or reduce competition.

1. Why do hamsters eat their babies?
Hamsters may eat their babies for several reasons, often linked to survival and environmental stressors. If a hamster mother feels threatened, stressed, or senses that her habitat is not safe, she might resort to cannibalism as a way to protect herself and the remaining offspring. Another reason could be a perceived lack of resources, such as food or space, prompting the mother to reduce the number of mouths to feed. Additionally, if a baby is sick, weak, or deformed, the mother might eat it to prevent it from becoming a burden on the rest of the litter. While this behavior seems harsh, it’s an instinctive reaction driven by the need to ensure the survival of the fittest.
