Well, I only hold my Hamster Babies after they are a month old. If you want to make sure, wait until they grow body hair and have already opened their eyes. Then you can hold them. But it really depends on the mother. If the mother hamster is a first timer, she may panic when you hold her babies and might eat them, so if your Mommy Hamster is a first timer, better make sure and wait until they opened their eyes. But if your Mommy Hamster is already an experienced one, they may allow you to hold her babies, let's say, about 2 or 3 weeks old. But to be sure, just wait at a minimum of 1 month. Hope that helps. ;)
