If you mean they are 3 months old, they should already be eating their adult hamster mix.  You can supplement with dog food and boiled eggs, and chopped apple.  Make sure they have enough water, are warm, and they have clean bedding.
If you mean they are 2 days old!  they will not survive without mothers milk.  One hope is to find a surrogate mum who is currently nursing.

Hi my hamster just had babies on the 19 of dec they are now 3 weeks old and my hamster
did not always lay on the babies sometimes the female needs a break from the little ones
just like human beings do when there have a new baby but don't worry she will look after them
I promise

Well just make sure that they eat and get lots of exercise at night. And you should put them in separate cages when they get a little older. Because if you don't than they will start to attack each other. Make sure you give them lots of sleep in the day time and don't bother them. Hope this answers your question.

It depends on their age, if they are more than 3 weeks ten they will survive if not then there is nothing to do.you can get another nursing mother[but its not so easy getting one] .the new mother can also reject the babies

Well I just got my hamster a day before Christmas and my hamster had babies not to long ago. But every time I look at the cage the mom isn't even laying on them to keep them warm of any thing. I don't no if this is normal or what. Any tips?? There are only three. But I want them all to survive. They are so cute and they are only maybe 3 or 4 days old.

It is old enough to eat regular hamster food so you dont need to give it a bottle even tho it may seem fun

hi my girl and boy hamsters gave birth to 6 little hamsters but my cat unfortunately got hold of the mother and now their is no mother I seperated the father because I was scared it would eat the babies, me and my mom have tried looking after the babies by giving thrm Ideal milk in a dropper but it is a extremely difficult process and I don't think they will even make it through the night me and my mom were going to feed twice during the night but it will be too tireing  ireally don't think they can hang on for much longer.
Good luck if you have any similar problems
