One more question? Red eyed hamster has the same tone of eyes since it´s born or it develops during life? For example is it possible that when my female was born she had bright red looking eyes, but when i bought her in the shop (2-3months old) her eyes alredy got browner?

Yes I would say they do often darken with age. They also usually develop a little brownish pigment around the outside of the ears especially if they have the darker coat colour.
Obviously the lighter they are when they are born the pinker they will stay. The darker hamsters fur is the darker they eyes are as a rule. For example a Cinnamon will have darker eyes than a flesh eared white.

So it is probable that those three little cinnamons that i have, will have dark almost brown eyes like their mother when they grow up

Yes I would expect those babies eyes to darken. Can you look at the roots of those babes coloured fur and see if it is a greyish colour? If it is grey then they are cinnamon but if not they may well be red eyed cream or red eyed cream banded. Cinnamons are agouti colours and should have a grey undercoat and the crescents and cheek flashes (the stripes on the side of the face)
To me those look like red eyed creams at the moment. They do not have the typical grey 'cap' of a young cinnamon. If you look at vanilla-yazoos Hush puppy who is a young cinnamon you will see the grey bloom and 'cap'
