i have had a book when i got my first hamster it said u should take the babies from the mum as soon as there born.Because there mums my eat them no you do not take them away right when they are born. they need to drink milk from their mother. they are mammals. and the only reason the mothers eat them is they are sick. but in some cases they are just not good moomies or do not want to feed them, or might not even have enough milk for them and theyd die anyway.
