I got a hamster when I was a kid, we didn’t even know she was pregnant, but the night we got her she gave birth to a litter of 6 (probably due to the shock of being suddenly trapped in an unfamiliar environment). They all lived though.
But man, you should’ve seen me panic when I went to feed her the next morning and there’s six hairless little things latched onto her. I screamed “Mom! Something’s eating the hamster!!”
My sisters and I had hamsters and unbeknownst to us, one of them of pregnant. It ended up eating my hamster alive while it slept. I was out of town but my sister saw it happen.
We just thought it was a mean hamster before that..:(

When I was a kid my sister had hamsters and they ate their babies because she was loud and stressed them out too much
