I'm not quite sure about ww but I have campbells. The babies started eating small seeds at ~8days as snacks and they don't drink water as they still get milk from their mom. However just lower your water bottle b/c you have to do that sooner or later. Hope this helps :)
Around 2 - 3 weeks, when they are becoming independent and their mother is no longer feeding them
Mother hamster is not resenting her babies, but when mother Hamster are afraid , they hide there children in their mouth. if the mother stayed scared, it will eat its babies! so its better when your hamster gives birth , to Never make any noise close to the cage.
A hamster but if the hamster mother feels the babies are in danger she will eat them...
Once the babies have become independent and are not feeding off the mother. If you handle the babies or put your scent in the cage before this time, the mother will eat the babies.
i would get a bottle and use that then slowly move towards the usual hamster bottle
The mother hamster does not care as much because she is stressed and worries about her care more.
If you touch the babies and get your scent on it.
They might cause a fight, if same gender, If not the same gender, the they will (most likely) have babies, and when a female hamster has babies, you have to help the babies come out. And if you touch the hamster babies AT ALL, the mother will eat them. I don't recommend buying another hamster.

only if you touch the babies
Yes. Breast milk has antibodies from the mother, it is easier to digest, the bonding between mother and baby enhances synapses in a babies brain, and it is good for the mother too. Breast feeding will help your uterus return to its normal size, and flatten your tummy.
After your hamster has babies the mother will care for them. The puppies will have no fur and are very small. If a baby strays from the nest the mother will carry it back in her mouth. The mother will feed the hamster from her milk until three weeks. At 5 weeks the puppies arte ready to leave the mother. If the hamster is a syrian this is the age when it must be separtated from its brothers and sisters.
