I've held a hamster baby right after it was born, so i guess anytime that you feel comfortable to pick them up, and you have to make sure your hamster mother or father is okay if you pick their baby up before. So put your hand over the baby hamsters maybe five inches or so away.
Raising Hamster BabiesDo not disturb the litter for at least 14 days. If the nest is disturbed the mother may kill the babies and eat them. If one of the babies gets away from the others, don't worry, the mother will retrieve it. The cage should be cleaned two weeks after birth and the babies should be separated from the mother at 28 days. Also be sure to to separate the Mother and babies from the daddy hamster. The daddy hamster will harm the babies and the mom always needs to be with her babies.{
You may hold your baby gerbial when he is 4-8 months old. Depending on how old the person is holding the gerbial, you never can trust kids. anyways, if you need liek REALLY REALLY NEEEEED to know the answer to this question, than you were the STUPIDEST person ever! this website is not for important questions. You are too stupid to own gerbials!
There is lots like, Syrian, Chinese dwarf hamster, Campbells dwarf hamster, Robo dwarf hamster, Russian hamster. My favorite, is the blueberry campbells dwarf hamster and the Syrian hamster. They are the sweetest and easy to hold. NOT THE ROBO"S!!!
Did you happen to hold the baby?!?! Your action might harm the babies and change its scent thus confuses the mother. She will think that they are not hers, abandon them and worst she might even eat the babies. If you did hold the baby the mother probably stoped feeding it which made it sick. === === === === * Separate the sick hamster from other hamsters if you are afraid that the sickness/disease could be contagious. * Clean up the cage and if possible sterilized all parts including toys, tubes, bottles and wheels. * All used bedding and unfinished foods should be discarded. * Keep the sick hamster in a quiet place away from any noisy environment to keep the hamster calm and prevent any further stress * Provide the sick hamster with enough water * In the mean time, monitor health condition of other hamsters for the same symptoms. I'm very sorry but there is probably nothing you can do to save him/her. Just make sure you don't make the same mistake with the other hamsters.
yea, at first when i had my hamster i was soo scared to hold her but then my friend tried it for me. It was soo cool. When a hamster goes into a new home you have to get her used to the enviroment. So you should definetely hold him =] hamsters are playful (sometimes) so love them and dont be afriad of them.

Dwarf (Russian hamsters) it makes no difference, they do not mind having their young handled. Syrian Golden Hamsters allow at least 2 weeks.
No, you should never hold a pregnant hamster
12-14 days after birth
If you want it to have the chances of being eaten or abandoned, go ahead.
yes if you hold them since they were a baby every day 1 hour
Leave the babies alone. Hamsters are known for cannibalizing their babies if they are handled before they are starting to wean.
put in a baby bath and hold its head!
Hi, hamsters are pregnant for 16-28 days.
They cant really tell but make sure the cage is secure before you move it dont hold it by the top hold it buy the bottum and top. hamsters are smart so they will realize they have been moved but i think they will be fine.
