Newborn pups are safe to handle when they start growing fur.
The reason for not holding them when they're born is because if you get your scent on them the mother will think it's not her, therefore eat it.
Ps: If your mother hamster has more babies then she can feed, take some babies out to give her a smaller litter to care for and nurse the other babies yourself. She will eat the babies if they're too much work for her.

If a hamster mom eats some of her pups, don't worry. It's natural. It means she doen't think she can handle all the pups so cuts down the numbers.
