I'm pretty sure you should take the dad out, as mum might attack him - and I think there may be a possibility of her getting preggers again (which isn't very healthy!).

I don't know much about anything else to do with breeding, but this website might help. And I'm sure someone else will help you in the morning.

Ok, dad must be removed into a seperate cage, it is fairly common for the male to mate with the female, straight after she has given birth, so she could be pregnant again.

Keep mum and the pups as quiet as possible, do not disturb the nest at all.

Make sure that there is pleantly of food and water, foods such as porridge, baby food, cooked chicken and fresh veg are all excellent for nursing mums and pups, as well as lots of usual hamster mix.

Do not clean the cage or handle the pups or mum untill the pups have their eyes open.

I am no expert though, but this is the basics that I have picked up along the way! Hopefully someone more experienced with breeding will be along soon.

Try to feed your hamster much albuminous food, like mealworms or crickets (if there is something like this to buy in the pet shops). If not you can give the hamster egg white and curd or yogurt!
That is very important for the mum, because she had to produce much milk for the babys.

The male shoud be separated right away....
