It is safest to handle a hamster mother when it's ok to hold her babies as well (3 and 1/2 weeks). But you can take her out for short periods about a week after she's given birth, to give her a break from motherhood, and the babies will be fine also. Good luck!

Why are all babies given eyes drops at birth?
Babies are given eye drops at birth to prevent any infections that the baby may pick up from travelling down the birth canal, because a baby can pick up infections from vaginal secrections from the mother during birth because the birth canal and vagina are not very clean. If eye drops are not given (which in many poor countries they aren't) a baby can get eye infections and even go blind from the infections that he or she picks up during birth.

What do you do after your Syrian hamster has given birth?
You leave the mother and babies well alone! Remove any other hamster and make sure that mom has lots of high protein foods - chicken breast (cooked), milky porridge, vegetables, sunflower seeds - no fruits!. Don't clean the cage till the babies are 12 days old, then you can clean the toilet corner and remove some dirty bedding as long as it is replaced with fresh. when the babies are 3 weeks old you can then remove the mom as they won't be drinking her milk anymore and she might get stressed. When the babies are 4 weeks old they need to be separated into separate gender cages - all the male in 1 cage, all the female in another. By week 5 you can sell them on to petshops or individuals.
