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.
