If a baby is born naturally, often the doctor or nurse will rest the baby on top of your belly. This stimulates your uterus to expel the placenta, etc. Other times you or your baby may need an intervention and a lot will depend on what is needed. In most cases you are handed the baby within 5 minutes of birth.

These little guys can be held for short periods as soon as they dry from birth. This is advised because the sooner they are held the sooner they are tamed for handling and training. Be careful not to drop them, they are newborn babies.

How long after birth can you hold a baby mouse without the mother eating it?

As long as the mother is socialized you should be able to hold the babies immediately. Give her some time and space with them for the first day, then when she is away from the nest, feed her something special and while she is eating, hold the babies. She should be fine as long as you are gentle and return them to the nest when she is ready. Make sure not to mess up her nest, and to keep the babies warm. If she is not very well socialized, I would wait a bit longer, then hold them. You want to hold them as early as possible to ensure that they become well socialized. Good luck :) To be safe, wait until the mice open their eyes. By this time, they aren't really dependent on their mother. You may be able to hold them just after they get fur, but you run the risk of the mother abandoning them. Touching them before they have fur is mostly a big no, since your scent will replace the baby's scent, and the mother will most likely abandon or eat the baby. This really depends on the mother. Some mice may be ok with you holding their babies, others won't. In order to avoid any risks, though, try to wait until they don't depend on their mother.

My hamsters gave birth to two babies today and they were both eaten. How should I take care of the babies when the next ones come out?

It's important to provide a safe and quiet environment for the mother and her babies. Ensure the mother has sufficient food, water, and nesting material. Handle the babies minimally to avoid stressing the mother. If you notice any signs of distress or lack of care from the mother, consult with a vet for advice.
