No, you don't. The only reason you should ever if the animal was being bad. Hamsters don't understand that tho, cat can on certain situations, but hamsters do not.
and also only qualified animal handlers pick hamsters up to check the sex of the hamster like they did with my hamster

Is it mean to pick a cat up by its scruff?
The scruff of the neck cannot support the weight of an older kitten or adult cat; it will be painful for the cat and can cause injury to the cat's neck and spine. When picking up a cat, always support the back-end with one hand, and under the front legs with the other. This distributes the weight of the cat evenly and allows the cat to be comfortable. BTW-If your cat has a collar on, take it off before you pick it up by its scruff. You might tighten it by accident. If your cat has a small scruff, don't pick it up. If a cat is overweight or has arthritis, don't pick it up. Don't swing it back and forth, and put it down gently. Just saying, otherwise you'll hurt it.
