      You think it had nothing to do with any of those reasons, but the cat knows why. Example: If feed the cat at the same time everyday and the right portion. No more, no less. The cat knows how much food you give her. Therefore she thinks it won't be enough for everybody, so she eats the litter. It might not be your case, but animals take notice of things we normally don't.

Hamsters only produce milk while rearing and milking them will reduce the food of their offspring. Hamsters like most rodents they have birth rate extremely high so is their death rate.

    I have seen a stray dog mom eating all her puppies, yes all of them, and none of them were deformed or anything. She just ate all her children one by one. First there were like 7-8 puppies, then after a few days we noticed two of them were missing. Then after a few more days, another two or three gone. We then saw the mom eating a leg. Weirdly enough, the surviving puppies had joined her too, until they were the treat of course. So she ate all of them.

      Well, in the safe environment of a house, a momma cat eating her kittens sounds awful but imagine the momma cat and her babies are out there, say, hiding inside a burrow in a jungle. She has six kittens and one is sick, or blind, or unable to move. She has two choices, eat the baby right now and nourish her so she can have more energy to take care of the healthy ones, or try taking care of it, and risk putting them in danger if they need to move or, if it's sick, risking to spread the disease to the healthy ones. Which one you think it's the best choice?
      The nature can be cruel sometimes but this is how it works and always worked.

      this is what he/she said.
      "This video is really bad because it presents such a negative view and biased view without truly understanding the true nature of hamsters. There are many factors to why hamster canibalism exist: 1. The mother hamster fears that there is not enough food for her and the babies so she limits nursing the numbers of the baby hamster to ensure a higher survival to all her pups. 2. You cause the mother hamster to eat the baby because you put ur scent on them which causes the mother hamsters to be confused and kill them. 3 . Hamster are omnivores which means they eat fruits, vegetables and meats like cooked cod, cooked chicken and cooked turkey."
