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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my hamster had babies. I came home just in time to witness her kick the mutilated bodies of her two babies out of her house, then crawl back in and go to sleep. Now my sister refuses to touch her and calls her a "baby-eating demon." 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.

I had hamsters once and they had babies. I didn't touch them at all, knowing they'd get eaten. Well, apparently the parents decided to eat them anyway. They did this to two litters of babies and on the third litter one hamster managed to survive. I was, however, fascinated by the baby hamster parts strewn across the cage every time. Call me a sicko, but really? How often do you see baby hamster bits?

OK, so YDI, but now you know for the future. Maternal rejection of babies that hhave come in contact with another species is common in mammals. For example, cats do it all the time (not the eating part, though). Thing is, most mammals have much more highly developed senses of smell than humans, and especially pregnant mamas have even more acute senses of smell...so she was probably smelling the few molecules of scent you left on her baby's skin.
