I adopted a family (mom, dad & 3 little ones) of dwarf hamsters 4 days ago. I have no idea how old the babies are. They are covered in fur, eyes open, running around, eating and drinking water. I have noticed that they still cuddle up to Mom & Dad every moment they have. I saw the male and female mating over the weekend. Should I remove the babies from the parents now or should I wait too see if the female is pregnant en the remove the babies? Unfortunately I have no way of knowing how old the babies are as I took them from a breeder that was leaving them to starve!

Hi Michelle. First of all, good for you for taking care of those hamsters and putting them in a caring environment! :)  
 
The young ones will be at breeding age soon, if not already, so it all depends on what you want. If you're looking for more babies then by all means leave them together ;) If not, then you should separate the males and the females into different cages. 
 
Keep us posted on how things go!
