Congratulations on the new hamster pups! A nursing mother hamster requires increased calories and protein. Ensure she has constant access to her regular quality hamster food mix. Supplement this with small amounts of high-protein items like cooked, unseasoned chicken or eggs, mealworms, or high-quality cat kibble (sparingly). Fresh vegetables and fruits should also be offered in moderation. Access to fresh water is crucial. Avoid disturbing the nest excessively during the first week to prevent the mother from abandoning or harming the pups. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
