At what week after a batch of baby hamsters are born do you clean the cage?
You should wait two weeks. When you clean it, take the complete nest out with the babys. While you are cleaning it, do not let the mother get by her babys. She will get 'out of her mind' and maybe kill 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.
What should i do I am getting to hamsters if they mate and she has babies should i get them out of the cage immediately so she doesn't eat them?
If she does have babies, take the male out so she WON'T eat them. She may get stressed. Also, don't get the baby hamsters out of the cage. They will probably die, and if you put them back in the cage, the mother hamster may eat them. Just watch the baby hamsters and the mother hamster. Hope this helped. DON'T TAKE THE BABIES OUT OF THE CAGE!!!!! With out the mom the babies will die. And if you put the babies back before they die she will eat them. Besure to take the male out yhe cage. If she feels like here babies are indangered she will eat them.good luck.

Only when they grow up. Hamsters are like us, at a certain age the babies must leave their moms. If not and the father is in the cage with his family, he will murder all male pups to ensure his pups are the only ones in the cage and not his sons!

only ever keep dwarf hamsters in the same cage, it doesn't matter what sex the dwarfs are, but once other breeds of hamsters reach maturity(such as the syrian) they will viscously kill any hamster that they share a cage with!
