Tips
Bedding
Kiln dried pine, newspaper, aspen.  Never use cedar.   
Diet
A hamster mix from the pet store will do fine. Then give them some fruits and veggies and your hamster has a great diet. 
Cages
I recommend a 10 gallon tank because it's easy to clean and it gives the hamster enough room 
Breeding
Female hamsters should be first bred before 6 months of age. If the first breeding is delayed beyond this time,there will be serious problems with the dilivery. Females should be first bred between 3 and 6 months of age. A male and female should  be left together 4-12 days to make sure that she is pregnant. If they fight, remove one. And try again some other time. When she has the babies you should  remove the male because he will try to mate with her again  which is very stressful on the mother.     
Babies
The babies are born pink, deaf and blind.  The mother should not be disturbed until the babies are 2 weeks old.  If the nest is disturbed before then, the mother may eat her bab
Gestation Period= 16 days
Babies= 4-26. Usually around 8 though
Weaned= 4 weeks
Heat cycle= 4 days
