How do you get your hamster asleep in your hand?

First of all, this usually will not work. Most hamsters are at least a little bit afriad of their owners, so do not completely trust them to keep them safe while sleeping. As they can feel the movement of the human breathing, they are aware that they are moving when sitting in hand, so do not like going to sleep when conscious of this movement. It helps to take the hamster out of its house when just woken up, so it is still sleepy, and place it in your hands in a darkened room, cupping your hands around it. Placing a light material such as a handkerchief over the hamster can help too - don't worry, as long as you don't tuck it in, it won't suffocate. The hamster will hopefully drop off into peaceful sleep.

Due to the tragedy of Genital mutilation how many Male and Female babies are also surgically altered against there will like a Male Intersex Hermaphordites baby with cut off male genitilia to be girl?

Hemaphrodite is not used in medical circles as it is not accurate. Inter-sexed is the appropriate term and according to Intersex Society of America (see link below) 1 to 2 in 1000 children born are physically altered by the medical society to better "fit into normal society." With no choice made by the child and often without parental permission; the doctor just plays God and decides what he/she thinks is right, not think for the child's future psychological states. This approaches the idea of "Hmm you have dark skinm but your features are European, let me change them to look more African because I think you will be happoer for it."

What do you do when there's poo stuck to your hamsters butt?

Nothing. A male will do this as a sign of strength and domination in front of other males. They will generally make a "machine gun" type of low pitched, rapid fire grunting either before, after or during such a hip swaying display. If your male pigs begin to fight after a display like this (a rare event) then you may want to separate them, but simply swaying and "machine gunning" is not anything to be worried about. Males can be kept together in large cages if raised together as juveniles. I would not recommend multiple males housed together in general, but if raised together, this can work. Good luck with your guinea pigs.
