Don't attempt to touch her or the babies for 2 weeks or she may kill them. Leave them totally alone, except to put food in the cage, and even then do so quickly and quietly.

Take the father out of the cage. But keep the mom in. Leave the baies and mother alone for at least a week. Then you can hold the mom if she lets you. But leave the babies alone until they are 2 weeks old. If you touch them and get your scent on them the mom may eat them. Just feed your mom hamster extra nutrients like dry cat food, fruits, veggies, cooked meat, bread dunked in milk, ect. The mother will take care of the baies on her own. If any babies are stillborn or die she will eat them. Let her do this because it is actually good for her. Make sure she is a quiet area because if she stresses out she will eat her babies. Make sure you keep the babies with the mother until they are 4- 5 weeks old. When they are 5 weeks old make sure you seperate the males from the females. You can keep the daughters in the same cage as the mom though. I hope I helped. Good luck with your little guys!

VERY CAREFULLY remove the babies from the cage and put them in a seperate cage, the maklle will attemp to eat them and the female might. the female will sit on her babies- attempting to prtect them but this will kill them.

a petstore selling you a pregnant animal without telling you is against the law. I suggest calling the petstore and informing them of this.

hampster? If it's a hampster- KEEP THE BABIES IN A SEPARATE CAGE ASAP!!!!! the father tends to EAT them and the mother tends to sit on the sometimes, ending in suffocation!!! Let the hamsters grow up in cages NEXt to one another and then when they're big enough, try putting them in one cage.

Leave it alone, do not touch, do not stare. It's the best thing you can do until the babies grow fur.
