answer: oh my lord, its no big deal just change the bedding in the cage.
If they are red ants it could eat your hamster alive. If not the hamster can eat them,, but other wise you should get the hamster an alternative cage and sanitize the other by hosing it down. This should remove the ants
Throw out the bedding. Wash any blankets with bleach or vinegar and wash out the cage with vinegar and rinse down with water. Vinegar cleans but is not harmful.
it can harm your hamster if it goes to sleep because the ants can eat it alive like how an animal dies and they eat any thing still
