No she would not but it is better off to let the mother deal with the pups till the pups eyes open. If you have to touch them take a towel and rub the mother down them pick the pup up with the towel. Be sure not to leave your scent on the pup or the mother will not take care of the pup and it will die.

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.
Can a different female mouse feed another's baby mice?
I never raised mice myself, but I remember something facinating I learned at a local pet store years ago. I went into their bathroom and I saw a nursing mouse with different sized pups, so I asked the people at the pet store about it. The lady there explained that mice will nurse other mother mouse pups. However, I'm not sure how the people in the store introduced the pups to this mother mouse that weren't her own. I'm not sure what the safe method is for doing this.

Is it okay to move puppies as soon as they are born?
Yes. Just as long as you keep the mother with her pups,obviously. It depends on the mother dog. More specifically, on how much she trusts you. Some mother dogs will ignore puppies who have been handled by someone. It's best not to touch or move newborn pups unless it's absolutely necessary.
