It's fine to pick a hamster by the skin behind his ears, but anywhere else it might hurt your hamster.
when the hamster puts it ears up it mean he is happy
you open the door of the cage and cup your hands and try to pick him up from underneath if he/she bites you use gloves or a towel
No, you don't. The only reason you should ever if the animal was being bad. Hamsters don't understand that tho, cat can on certain situations, but hamsters do not. and also only qualified animal handlers pick hamsters up to check the sex of the hamster like they did with my hamster
You should pick up your hamster. Picking up your hamster lets it get used to you, the more you pick it up and play with it the more friendler it becomes.

Guinea pigs eat A LOT, this is normal. If she is sqealing and squeaking when you pick her up then she may not be used to being handled. The only way to fix this is to handle her often so she gets used to it.
you have to pick it up

Technically yes.. But no you shouldn't.
I would not attempt to pick up a baby hamster till it is eating on it's own. Hamsters are very quick to cannibalize their young if they in anyway fell threaten or of the babies are threatened. This includes the smell of the baby hamster changing in anyway.
