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.

Why is my hamster going in circles It share its cage with 1 other hamster and its cage is 7 by 12. Why Everything seems normal on my hamster. HELP?
Hamsters aren't supposed to share cages if there syrians(dwarf hamsters can share a cage very happily). Your hamsters could kill eachother; hamster's nature is to roam alone. However, if you have one male hamster, and one female hamster, this may not apply, as the female can, well, you know, with the male and before you know it.... pop goes the BABIES. Be prepared.
Can you let hamsters out of there cage?
yes, you can let hamsters out of the cage but you can't let them just wander around unsupervised, you must watch them carefully. Also, if you have dwarf hamsters, it probably isn't smart to let them out without them being in a ball of some sort, just because they are so fast, it would be very easy to lose them. You can also go to some sort of pet store (Petsmart or Petco) and get a small hamster playpen for around $12, but you still must watch them, because my hamsters have learned how to climb up it and escape.
When will hamsters die?

Your Syrian Hamster has two bald patches on his hind legs?
This could be a number of things. You first need to check that there is nothing in the hamsters cage with could scratch it and consequently cause fur loss. If you find anything you should remove it from the hamsters cage. It also could also be stress which is causing the hamster to loose fur. Check that the hamster is getting 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark and also that there are no loud noises or changes of temperature disturbing it. With old age hamsters tend to loose a bit of fur also, so it could just be a natural thing.
How many babies do hamsters have at one time?
hamsters can have around 6 to 12 babies at a time. sometimes they can have more but its not likely that they will. just be careful not to breed them more than 6 times or they could become stressed and die!
