When does your hamster has babies?

Hamsters can get pregnant again right after they give birth to babies...BUT it is best to wait atleast 6 weeks after they give birth so the mom can be strong enough to be pregnant again and it wont place her in danger. Plus that 6 wks is time to get the babies weened from mom... it would place too much stress if shes still nursing babies and has more babies before last liter is weened from her.

My hamster dad and mum are fighting with ONE of the babies and the rest are fine Why?

It really depends on the breed of hamster. Dwarf, Russian and Chinese are sociable and live together well, but syrians can often kill the offspring soon after birth if they are not separated. If the hamsters are Dwarf, Russian or Chinese, the hamster is probably the runt of the litter, and is being picked on as he is considered to be a waste of space to the parents. I'd try separating the baby from the rest, and taking care of it seperately, but make sure you know how to do this. If the hamster is syrian, do the same, but separate the father hamster too, as he could kill the mother and the child. Consult your breeder, pet shop owner or vet for more information.
