If you want to start holding your baby hamster you should atleast wait until some hair comes because the baby can get sick by people's germs so wait until it has some hair and could walk normally abit

∙ 13y agoIf you hold them when they are still depending on their mother , it will cause her to reject the babies, because they rely mostly on there smell. The mother will think the babies are intruders because they have YOUR "smell". I would probably say the right time to hold them is about a couple a weeks. Two or more weeks would be fine. The mother won't reject the babies then. To be safe you should play with them when they have a layer of fur to cover themselves. (I had about 50 babies, but I DIDN'T want a hamster farm). I never had a baby rejected though. Mom hamsters can eat them to, but very rarely. (They have to be starving too) I think that moms rejecting them is very VERY rare. If you have Roborovski's you should look at Roborovski hamsters, a site completely devoted to Robos.
