first if she is too young she will eat them but if she is older then she won’t! let her feed them and keep them warm make sure there’s clean water and food for her and when you wean the babies put 3 bowls of food in …baby hammies EAT ALOT! just sit back and relax!

Leave them with her. They need to nurse. Do not touch them. Mom will do all the parenting and when they’re ready the babies will explore. When they begin eating solid foods and drinking water you can play with them or w/e you want to do.

Just feed the mother hamster and she will go back to normal,but the babies,you got to make sure the mom doesn't try to attack or eat them.Make sure the mom gives enough milk to them.My mom's a vet. She told me baby hamsters are super easy to hurt! Good luck!!

First of all, the mother will not eat her babies unless a human touches them. Second of all, the mother will do all the caring for them if you don’t want to. She will breast feed until they are old enough to eat on their own. What you need to do is put the food on the bottom of the cage and the water bottle so that they can reach it from the bottom floor. When they get older…I think about a month old, you need to seperate them into seperate cages because hamsters are very territorial! At least seperate the males from females so they don’t make even more babies! Good luck!
Also, avoid cleaning their cage for a while because if the mother feels her babies are in any danger she will kill them. You should not really even go near the cage for a while…

well i would go to Petsmart because thats where i got mine and you can just adopt them there but i would get any type of hamster but make it be half baby half adult and i would prefer girls because thay arent dominant of their territory and babys because they can be tought to be nice when you pick them up!
