Answer 1

A BIG NEST
Baby hamsters require special care. This, of course, is provided by their mothers. But humans can help. The expectant mother should be placed in a clean cage a few days before her due date, with extra litter so that she can build a big nest. The deep litter helps in other ways, too. Since it's risky to disturb babies before they are weaned, the litter will get quite dirty as the young hamsters grow. It's best to change the cage litter three weeks after birth. It can be done at two weeks if it seems overly dirty. But every effort should be made to do so quickly and to preserve what can be saved of the old, familiar nest. Try to touch the babies as little as possible. They're still too young to be handled.

MILK FOR MOTHER AND BABIES
Maternity is also made easier by putting the expectant mother's cage in a dark, quiet spot and doing as little as possible to disturb her, both before and after delivery. An excellent way to help new mothers produce enough milk for their young without weakening them is to give supplemental formula to them in a dropper or syringe, starting at least two days before the expected birth. Good options are goat milk, which can be purchased dry (we use the Meyenberg brand) and mixed in small quantities. The mixed goat milk is stored in a small container in the refrigerator and warmed to room temperature before feeding. Powdered Isomil baby formula can be used the same way. Donna takes a 3 ML syringe half-full of milk four or five times a day. As the babies begin to start nibbling from the food dish, a "baby mix" can be made by combining the formula with dry baby cereal or the dust from "lab blocks" rodent food (Square Meal is one common brand).

THE WEANING STAGE
Baby hamsters don't really look like hamsters until they are three weeks old, at which time they are in the process of being weaned from mother's milk. They still need to stay with the mother a little longer, but at this age they can be briefly held to begin the process of taming them. Hold the young one very close to the ground in a place where it can't run under or behind furniture. Hamsters this age are jumpy and will certainly try to get away. By the age of five weeks, they are fully weaned and at the brink of adolesence. Gender can be detected and they should be separated from the mother, with the males put in a cage of their own and the females in another. Before long, each will need to live in his or her own solitary cage.

Hamsters eat seeds, dried bananas, hamster pelets, some nut peices, they sell all that stuff mixed up together, but you should ask the pet store where you got the hamster what they feed their hamsters, my hamster passed away just a while ago and she only ate the food shed been given at the pet store.

Answer 4

My wife is a wildlife rehabber. She suggests that you leave "Mom" alone as much as possible, including covering the cage. If "Mom" gets too upset, she could kill her babies.

Keep contact with "Mom" & the babies to a minimum. Don't handle the babies AT ALL unless absolutely necessary. Keep other pets away.

Feed "Mom" regularly & be sure she has plenty of water.

Good luck.

Answer 5

What I can tell you is DO NOT touch the babies until they are toddlers or the mother will not take care of them anymore & they will die.Wait at least til the eyes are open & are walking around.Do not put any material in the cage (can sufficate) or water dish~use the water tube kind of despenser.

Answer 6

They are still awfully young. Give mom some time to adjust to being a mom, and adjust to having you around. As they mature, they will need to be handled, so that they are friendly; but do wait until their eyes are open, and they are not quite so fragile. If mom gets too upset, she may kill them.:(
