it is a very good idea t because the babes are much smaller than the other hamster if u don't separate them from other hamsters its a good chance they might eat them. but u don't have to separate them from the mother cuz they need her to be taken care of. but if a baby hamster died after it was born the mother might eat it.

How do you get hamsters not to have babies?
Isolate the pregnant female from other hamsters, pets, people, and other distractions. Mother hamsters usually eat their babies because they feel threatened and cannot protect them. Male hamsters may eat babies, especially not their blood kin, as a way to ensure their own security. Never handle the mother or babies until the young are several days old and the mother feels comfortable in taking care of them.
What do you do with baby hamsters if the mother ate some already?
You take care of the other babies by putting them in separate cages. DON'T TOUCH THE BABIES UNTIL THEY HAVE HAIR. The mother probably ate some of the babies because: 1. She felt threatened. 2. She might have needed more protein. Other reasons the mother may eat the babies is if the litter is too large for the mother to care for all the young or if the babies have already died on their own. Are you sure the mother actually killed them?

How do mother hamsters carry their babies?
Mother hamsters carry their babies by gathering them in their mouths and moving them to a new location. They do this by gently picking them up by the scruff of their necks. Hamsters are equipped with built-in instincts that help them care for their young in this way.
What hamster will not eat another one?
Hamsters don't really eat other hamsters. Their not cannibals. However, when the babies are first born and one is really ill; the mother may and most likely will eat the baby. Yes, it sounds gross but I think I remember reading somewhere that a lot of animals do that. So if you have a hamster who just had 5 babies and one of them is gone - that's probably why.

Can you keep a male and a female hamster together when she has her babies?
Male hamsters sometimes eat their young. I would suggest putting him in his own cage and keep the babies with their mother for the first 6 months or so. Though, it also depends on the breed of hamster. Syrian hamsters cannot be kept with the female after they mate and give birth, because they'll eat the babies. Dwarf hamsters, however, can live amiably in groups, and the males actually help raise them. Also, depending on the breed again, I'm sure you can actually separate them earlier if they're weaned.
