A mother hamster has multiple teats on her underbelly. The baby hamsters will latch on to these teats and feed on the mother's milk. After a few weeks the babies will start to eat regular hamster food.

How do you hand feed 4day old baby hamsters because the mum is tying 2 eat them?
I'm sorry, but you can't. If the mother is trying to eat them, that means she feels threatened, or she knows that the babies are sickly/ill. I would just let nature take its course. You cannot feed 4 day old hamsters.

Baby hamsters should stay with their mother for at least 3-4 weeks to ensure they are properly weaned and able to eat solid food on their own. Separating them too early can lead to health and behavioral issues. It's best to let the mother hamster naturally wean her babies before they are separated.
What do I do if I have a hamster that had babies and they are now a week old and one looks ill but then the mum tried eating the sick baby so I managed to get him away and how do I feed the poor baby?
If a baby hamster appears ill or weak, it's important to keep it warm and consult a veterinarian experienced in small animals for guidance on how to care for it. You can try feeding the baby hamster a special formula designed for nursing hamster pups, using a small syringe or eye dropper if needed. Keep the baby separated from the mother to prevent further harm.

When should you take baby hamsters away from their mothers?
i have had a book when i got my first hamster it said u should take the babies from the mum as soon as there born.Because there mums my eat them no you do not take them away right when they are born. they need to drink milk from their mother. they are mammals. and the only reason the mothers eat them is they are sick. but in some cases they are just not good moomies or do not want to feed them, or might not even have enough milk for them and theyd die anyway.
