how to feed baby hamsters

Question
my hamster is having babies and i need to now how to feed them, and how long till i can hold one.

Answer
Hi Martha,

You don't need to feed the babies.  Your hamster will feed them with her milk until they are 3 weeks old.  However, you will need to lower the water bottle so that the babies will be able to reach it.

You won't be able to touch the babies until they are 14 days old.  If you touch them before they are 14 days old, the mother may stop feeding them.

Here's a link to a website with more information that I would encourage you to read:

Have a great weekend!
