no because the scent on your fingers will then go on the hamsters and the mommy might not think that's her baby because of the different smell and the mommy might even eat the little baby

Really you can't touch a hamster until its left the mother at 2 weeks. To be safe I would say to leave it another day or two before you do.

You should wait until they have opened their eyes. If you touch them sooner you'll get your scent on them and momma hamster may not recognize them and eat them.
