Single mother hamster

Question
Hi my name is Kenny and one day my sister's boyfriend bought us a chinese dwarf or what it looks like it has tan-brown fur with a white belly and a black line going 4/5 of the way down its back. It was a female and then after less than 2 weeks we bought it a wheel and one day it was running alot on the wheel we didnt notice and make a big deal but the next day she was just laying under her fluff in one corner and then i saw a red thing crwling on her i looked closely and i saw it was a baby. she had 8 more after that. the 3rd to the last one was born dead and i forgot to say there was no male. well after about 15 minutes of watching them we left the house for 3 hours or so and when we returned one had died. A couple hours later we found another had died again. This morning I found only 4 left and im worried the babies my die before they can feed on their own...

What should I do?

Answer
Hello Kenny. Do not worry. Let nature take it's course. It's the best thing to happen for both the mom and pups. The pups that died may have just been too weak to live. The four remaining may still live and if they don't then do not worry since the mommy knows what is best for the pups. There shouldn't be a male with her anyway as the mom can take care of the pups on her own. Keep the food close to her and keep her water bottle really close as well. Put some tissue in there as well to make a nice nest to keep them warm as well. :-) This is the best advice since even though it's hard to see the pups not live they breed a lot and quite frequently so they always have a big litter so that some will live and some may not. :-)
