Answer
hello, you know if you want to get rid of the babies, call all your pet stores and ask if you can put a flyer up in their store about you giving away the hamsters or ask can they take them in for you. To take care of the hamster that you have now, buy some neosporin and use that for the wounds. I hope I have helped if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
