Dont disturb her....leave her be. when she had her babies she will nurse them and take care of them. Also if its her first time she might eat the babies because she has no expierence and in the second time she will know what to do. so dont worry if she eats her babies because she might get pregnant again and she wont eat her babies.

How do you change a hamsters cage with 12 baby hamsters?

It is very important that you do not touch the baby hamsters because then the mother will smell human on them, and she will eat the babies. What you need to do is transfer the babies with a plastic spoon or something to another location. The mother will eat her babies. So you want to keep them separate. After the babies are removed, clean the cage as usual.
