Default Re: Syrian Hamster babies

You will have to separate them & give each hamster it’s own cage as. Syrian hamsters can’t be kept together at all.
You will have some time to prepare, at about 5 weeks I think you would need to separate the male babies from the females & at that stage you could keep them in same sex groups but within a few weeks from there if not less you will have to house them individually.
Maybe take the time you have now to see if you can find any good rescues or other places you would feel happy rehoming them.
Do you know how to care for mum & pups? If not just ask & someone will be able to help, main thing now is not to disturb mum any. more than absolutely necessary, just for food & water, no cleaning & make sure she has loads of nesting material, shredded toilet tissue, in addition to her normal substrate & plenty of food.
