Only if the mother is ready for you to be trusted with her babies.Meaning.... my hamster had 12 babies and on three days after they were born, i put my hand in her cage to feed her and she got one of her babies in her mouth and dropped it onto my hand. that let me know that she was safe for me to touch her babies. the only reason i would wait for her to give you a sign is that, she may abandon her babies or eat them, if they have your scent on them and not hers. you must be really carefull with them. you can stroke them but don't get your scent all over them.... in other words pick them up, until she lets you. hope this helped..... :)
