That is difficult. Would it help to say that a Mother hamster can kill the babies if the cage is disturbed too soon. She can Google it. Ideally you don’t clean until the babies emerge from the nest on their own. Then the risk of then being killed is past.

It is very difficult when an adult just wants you to clean something. All I can suggest is saying Mum - I need to wait a little bit so the babies don’t get killed by the Mother as she is protecting them. But I promise I will clean when the babies come out of the nest on their own. Please read up about it with me so we know the best way to deal with this.
