She had only 4 so far, i already separated the male from the cage. But she had the babies in the spinning tube, should i take them out and put them in the cage or just leave them there.
Make sure the mom (and pups) have a lot of water in their drip bottle.Of course don't pick them up.the nest should never be disturb until 10 days.if the mom abandon them don't worry they will find a way to her or she will come back.Make sure there is a lot of food or the mom will eat her babies also don't disturb the nest or mama will defend her babies by eating them.on the fifth day ease the water supply to normal.the pups will begin exploring the cage.on the 21 to 28 days they can leave their mom.but you must put to girls in a cage a the boys separately.when they leave remember mama and the pups have a nice clean cages with plenty of food and water.HOPE THIS HELPED !!!!!!:)
IGNORE BOBBY SACAMANO, he loves to talk about torturing his pets.
I've read in my hamster book to leave the hamsters be. If you really need to move them, DO NOT use your hands. Use a spoon or something to pick them up. Carefully. If you get your scent on them, they can be aggravated and freak out. The mother will sense danger and possibly cannibalize the babies. The mother can take care of them fine. (:
Ignore the a $ $ hole above me, he has been trolling around about starving and killing his chinchilla all day.

You should leave the hamsters where they are, touching them could stress the mother out and cause her to eat her babies. The mother of the babies will move them in her own time. And she will put them somewhere safe where she wants them. Just make sure that you do NOT touch them.
don't touch them, she will move them eventually
She should move them herself
Take them out. Be sure to use un-gloved hands, then proceed to wrap them gently in one of your shirts. Make sure it is unwashed, get it from your hamper - new borns need the smell of humans to get accustomed to you, it also relaxes the mother and encourages to take better care of them.
