You should separate the baby hamsters from the mother when they are 4-5 weeks old. Hamsters are solitary creatures and should be kept in separate cages after they reach this age. If you keep them together, they will fight, sometimes to the death and/or reproduce. Female hamsters are sexually mature at 2 months old. They can become pregnant every 3-4 days (estrus) and their pregnancy lasts 16-18 days.

Should you remove the baby hamster that have already died?
Yes, you should. Unless you want your cage to be smelt of death. I left my dead baby hamster for a a few hours to allow the mother and her other babies to feed on the dead baby --- this gives proteins, nutrients and energy to the Mama hamster and keeps her healthy and nourished so that she can feed her babies with enough milk. After that, I removed the dead baby hamster. If you can not tolerate the gruesomeness of it, I suggest you remove it before the guts spill. But, it's good to give the mother more nutrients. (: Hope this helps!
