Answer
Hi there!  Boiled eggs and fresh veggies are the best things you can give her.  I wouldn't try adding to much to her diet and upsetting her system.  :)  If she is already 10 days in, you should go ahead and seperate her from the other hampsters so that she can go ahead and start building her nest and etc.  Remember, do not touch the babies after they are born.  If you do, she will kill them.  So that is another reason that it is best to seperate her now.  The other hampsters will also eat the babies.  Do not touch the babies or disturb the mom or her cage for at least a week.  Feeding and watering is fine but you should limit it to that.  Good luck with your babies.
