If the father is still in the cage he should be separated. Male adult hamsters have been known to seriously injure young hamsters. The mother will do all the work taking care of the baby. Just make sure she has a constant supply of fresh water, dry bedding, and fresh food. You may also put a couple small strips of flannel or soft cotton fabric in the cage for her to line the nesting area with. Don't put it directly in with the babies. She will put it where she wants it herself. Other than that just keep the cage in a quiet area and let her do her thing. When the baby gets a little bigger, you will be able to care for it just like you do the adults.

Does the mother hamster get sad when you take away her babies after four weeks?

Well if you take away all of her babies then yes she will feel some lonesome and it may cause her to wine,scratch,runny nose.But if you leave at least one baby hamster with her she will not be upset and none of those symtyms above will happen.So i recomend you sell all of them(exept one.)and give the one you have not sold to the mother hamster and take care of her. p.s. you will not have to take care of the baby as much as you take care of the mother because the mother will take care of the baby but do feed her and love her as the mother hamster does. I HOPE I HELPED!!!(: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
