You should put it in the hamster's "home" and leave it alone for a day or two, so it can get comfortable with its' new surroundings. You can though, still give it attention, but try not to "overload" it.

Well, when you get a new hamster. You know you need all of the food and the cage. And stuffing. Leave the hamster alone for atleast 2 days. It needs to get use to its new home. If you touch the hamster before 2 days nothing will happen. It might just be a little skiddish. Scared of you. But you should hold your hamster(s) everyday for atleast 10-20 minutes. It doesn't matter how long you play with it. They are fragile so be gental.
