if there is 1 hamster in the cage once a week should do the trick if there are 2-4 try cleaning it 2 or 3 times a week this is coming from a hamster breeder and owner
it depends on the size of the cage.
Every 6 days, but its a good idea to remove wet woodshavings from wherever in the cage the hamster urinates every day. or once a week

Once a week
Yes, don't worry, this was the right thing to do. I have bred hamsters many times and I know that after about 2-3 days of giving birth the female will let you clean the cage and pick up the hamsters etc. They are less protective than guinea pigs which will reject their babies if they have a human smell on them. But, just watch the babies to be sure.

depends on your cage - wire bottom - once a week. Solid bottom - every day.
You fill a the cage with shavings, that are made to keep your little friend warm as well as absorbs the hamster urine. Preferably, a cedar type shavings, because it keeps the cage smelling fresh a whole lot longer than the competition! This is especially handy, when dealing with your children's pet hamster, as they rarely clean the cage.
Many people who have owned hamsters say that, that kind of cage is dangerous for hamsters, even dwarf hamsters. Also, there are many ways that a hamster can be killed in that cage. It's a death trap for a hamster or anything else. They may look cute and colorful but they are NOT good for any type of small rodent.
It is recommended to have only one hamster per cage to prevent territorial disputes and fighting. Hamsters are solitary animals that prefer to live alone, so it is best to provide each hamster with their own space and resources in their cage.
3-4 days, you dont need to take all the hay out, just refresh the cage.
