Probably when it starts walking around and its eyes are open. As far as I know, most baby mammals don't start to drink water until they are almost completely weaned. Guinea pigs would have to be an exception though; their babies are precocious and drink water from a bottle a day or two after birth.

You probably don't see them drink when your not there. Plus, they need to drink or they will not survive. Don't worry too much because it happened to me. Your hamster isn't used to the cage and its surroundings. Just give it a few weeks for your hamsters to feel comfortable and used to it. I was worried at first, until i saw it drink!! :)
