You need to seperate the babies into boys and girls around 21 days old. If mom is a syrian, she wants her cage back- grown syrians cannot live together with other hamsters. The babies should be seperated boys from girls- they will breed if you do not seperate them. They can probably live in groups of boys and girls for a couple more weeks, but then they will start to fight and kill one another. Each syrian hamster will need its own cage. If they are dwarves, they still need to be seperated by gender. And if Mom doesn't want them around- give her her space back.
