If your hamster gave birth to two hamsters and the other day one fell out of the cage and you picked it up with socks on your hands and put it back in the cage was that the right thing to do?

Yes, don't worry, this was the right thing to do. I have bred hamsters many times and I know that after about 2-3 days of giving birth the female will let you clean the cage and pick up the hamsters etc. They are less protective than guinea pigs which will reject their babies if they have a human smell on them. But, just watch the babies to be sure.

What is the best breed of hamsters and what do they like and or need where do you get them?
The nicest are teddy bear hamsters , but when dwarfs bite you can't feel it !LOL I know because I have a teddy bear hamster ( it only bit me once.... but it still nibbles) and my sister had a dwarf hamster when it bit me it TICKLED but dwarf hamsters don't live long ...... hope this helps .. :) you need bedding, a hamster cage , food bowl, water bottle/bowl, wheel, hamster ball ( clear ) , hamster food, water, hamster treats, hamster toys, gnaw sticks / salt licks, hamster bed fluff, hamster igloo ( only if you don't have a sleeping section in the cage)........ hope this helps..... :) hamsters like lettuce and carrots, and when they are babies rub their ears until they fall asleep in your hands . you can get the hamsters and the items at PetCo, and Pet Supplies Plus. you can get the items at Petsmart. Make sure you buy one that looks healthy and is young! I prefer getting EVERY THING at Pet Supplies Plus because you can see the hamsters ! And mostly the other pet stores have the igloos backwards so you can't see the hamsters..... I would go hamster shopping at night because they are nocturnal HOPE THIS HELPS...... :)

i've had two hamsters and i found it easier to pick them up around the waist. but once i researched it it said that you should scope it up-put your hands in cup shapes and "scope" it up either side. but when i tried this on both my hamsters they hated it and jumped over my hands because they were frightened. So its up to you try both methods and see which is your hamster most comfortable with :D hope this helped!
