If the mother is a first time mother, do not pick the babies up until they have their eyes open so that the mother doesn't kill them. If she trusts you, and has had a litter before this one, you may pick them up, but rub some of her nesting material on your hands before to keep her scent on them.
with your hands
It's fine to pick a hamster by the skin behind his ears, but anywhere else it might hurt your hamster.
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
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.
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.
yes
Pick it up.
with your hands
To pick up a hamster safely and gently, first approach the hamster calmly and slowly. Use both hands to scoop the hamster up from underneath, supporting its body. Avoid sudden movements or squeezing the hamster. Make sure to hold the hamster close to your body to prevent it from falling.
yea...
yes

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.
Technically yes.. But no you shouldn't.
