Hello i have two hamesters, 1 male and 1 female. They are a month year old and the female is pregnant. Yesturday i saw that there were two babies dead and she is just sitting in her house moving a bit. I seperated the male and female but I don't know if she is still giving birth. Please tell me what might have happened.

Poor Peanut! There is no way for me know what has happened, but hamsters don't always have live births. She may have been too young to be pregnant, or have some kind of health problem. She is most likely finished with the birthing process at this point. If you don't want other litters, you will have to keep the male and female separate.
