Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
It's natrual for the father to kill the babies, cats do it too and in some instances dogs...you have to separate them or he will kill them all.

Ok.. This happened to me before, too. One day I looked and the mom was having babies! Don't touch the babies. If your scent gets on them, the mother may kill them. Just make sure the mother and the babies are in a comfortable place, and leave them alone. Keep an eye on them, though. But the mother will know what to do, and she will raise them. Make sure the father is comfortable, too! And when the babies are grown up, you may want to separate the boys and girls- because they may end up mating too! And then you'll be overloaded with babies! And if you can't give all of them proper care, if it's too hard, you could try finding them another good home somewhere else. Good luck!

woa...i am not an expert, but i dont think its right for the dad to rip up the babies! try to keep him away, make sure the mother has food to eat and dont go near the babies while the mother is around, she might bite. also, try to put the food close to the mom (not right next to her) because she will mostlikely not go away from them. you can also call an animal store like pet goods.

whatever you do, don't touch the babies at all. if you do, there will be more incidents like the shredding of the first baby hamster. i suggest you move the dad hamster into another cage so it won't hurt anymore of them.
