A hamster usually won't eat her babies unless if it is ill and/or dying. The mother may also eat her baby if anyone has touched it. If you touch a baby the mother will smell an un-natural scent and the first thing she'll think is 'danger'. A hamster.. in this case.. will either abandon the baby or eat it to keep her other babies safe.
If you have a pregnant hamster; DO NOT pick up the babies when they are born (even though its hard to resist). It'd probably be best if you left the mother and her babies alone for a while. When you clean the cage, work around the mom. You don't want to disturb or distress her in any way.
Hamsters may bite if they feel threatened, scared, or stressed. They may also bite if they mistake your finger for food or if they are trying to scent-mark their territory. Providing a calm and comfortable environment can help reduce the likelihood of your hamster biting.
Actually, if you are asking which one bites more or bites at all, they both may bite but it depends on the hamster. If they are agitated or tired, yes they may bite. My hamster nips when I reach in to grab her when she is sleeping, but she doesn't bite all the time. Male hamsters may bite, too, it really depends on how socialized and affectionate the hamster is for you. Hope this helps!
I would say male. Female and male hamster personalities are very similar, but you wouldn't want to risk the chance of a female having babies.
