The mom guards the nest until the young hatch. She then guards the young for a few weeks.

Answer:

Aside from protecting the nest, the mother listens for the babies start calling from inside the eggs prior to hatching. This alerts their mother that it's time to dig them up as they couldn't dig through the sand without the mothers help.

The mother carries the hatched and hatching young to the water in her mouth and breaks free the ones that have difficulty in breaking out of the eggs in her mouth.

Once in the water the babies have to catch their own food but the mother responds to their distress calls and tries to protect as many as possible.

The father crocodile is less parental and views the young as a food source.

After the eggs are hatched, the mother will find a shallow pond or end of a lake with lots of reeds where fish and small water animals dwell. She doesn't hunt and bring them food, but lives close by until the offspring are ready to fend for themselves, which includes hiding from other crocodiles and birds that would feed on them.

A mother crocodile will guard her nest against egg thieves. When the eggs hatch the mother will carry the hatchlings to the water, where she will protect them from predators as they grow. Other than this, the young crocodiles are on their own. They have to get food for themselves.

Can baby girl hamsters stay in the same cage as the mom when the baby's are separated?

Yes, the babies will die if you take them away from the mother. They need her to nurse them and keep them warm. There is a small chance that the mother will kill the babies if she is stressed. Keep the cage somewhere without a lot of noise or traffic. Do not mess with the mom or the babies outside of regular maintenance until the babies eyes are open, and they are able to get around a bit on their own.
