I'm pretty sure they don't have milk - just hamster mix, extra protein (eg scrambled egg, porridge) and the odd bit of veg. If there is anything specific extra I'm not sure but I'm sure one of the breeders will know. I seem to remember most litters eat the same as the Mother hamster mostly. You might need to have a dish of water instead of a bottle - I'd keep it very shallow to avoid the hammy falling in and drowning, and have the dish on top of something firm like a shelf or house roof, to keep the substrate out and keep it from tipping over. A large jar lid might be good, or a saucer?
