You should take out your hamster everyday to show that you care for it. Take it out during the evening. That's when they are most active. They are also active in the early morning. Take it out for about 10-20 minutes. If you do this, the hamster will have a better and longer life.

You should play with them at least 15 minutes every day. Make sure you clean their cage at least once a week, so let them roll about in an excersise ball then. You don't have to physically be holding them, so you won't have any excuses for not letting them out. Try buying another cage, ball or playpen so they can have a change of scenery for 15-30 minutes each day. Imagine if you were stuck in your house, all day, everyday! Also change their food every week (or if they eat lots, every day) and changing their water every day, as bacteria grows in the water that can give them severe illnesses, which can break your heart. Remember, a pet is for life, not just for Christmas! :)

You should hold a hamster with both hands and close to your chest or to the ground. Do not let its feet hang through you fingers and absolutely do NOT drop it!! If it bites you put it down on the ground.

Being a hamster breeder, every 2 or 3 days is fine, or until they start to stink, then they REALLY need to be changed

Well you should wait about 4 or 5 weeks because if you hold them when they're not of the right age the mother of the hamster may eat the baby because of the scent you gave the hamster from holding it so wait a while unless you want your baby hamster to be eaten.
