Can you still grab the father or the mother hamster if they have babies?

You can hold the dad, but not the mom or pups. The dad should be separated from the pups but you could hold him. The mom would eat the pups if you touched them, or sometimes even her! Never touch the pups until they are old enough.

Why do you separate the baby hamster at 3 weeks old?
After the baby hamster is old enough, it no longer needs its mother and starts to become an adult hamster of its own. The hamster needs to be separated to avoid fighting or mating with its mother, or even its father if he resides in the cage still, depending on the sex of the baby hamster.

When mommy hamsters eat there baby hamster's dose that mean that they are ready to go?
They can especially if you touch the baby and get your scent on it while it's still young. You should refrain from going near the mother and babies for a few weeks. If the mother still eats one of the babies, don't be alarmed because it may still happen, and there's not much you can do to stop that (they usually have a reason to, just as mother birds will push sick babies out of the nest before they can fly)
What if your hamster had babies and you didnt know and you changed the bedding but she went crazy?
Erm. How would you not know when it had babies(tummy swells! Didn't you notice that?) and you changed the bedding without realizing? First of all, try to accommodate the hamster to how it was placed with the bedding (same enviroment), return the babies and provide it with adequate amount of water and drink to sustain it's health. If the hamster is behaving aggressive towards the babies, I suggest it's best to seperste them from the mother and surrogate them to survive till they are one month old. This is a tiring process but you have to ensure the babies are nourished. Give the mother some time, if the behavior still remains the same, I suggest see the vet immediately as failure to do so would result in fatal
Can you still grab the dad hamster when the mom hamster has babies?
Sure. Just don't bother the mom too much because she'll be really jumpy and active. Also, don't touch the babies until two weeks.
Can the mother hamster still attack her babys if they are 4 weeks old and healthy?
Unless the mother is very tempermental, once the babies open their eyes and start growing fur, the mother won't attack them because they're no longer helpless. However, it might be a good idea to separate the hamsters by gender so that you don't end up with even MORE babies... (been there, done that.) Don't touch the babies until they open their eyes! Bad idea!
Can you take out the mother hamster after it had babies?
No because the mother still might spell your sent so she might eat it or want nothing to do with it! (NO JOKE)
