Well, 8 days still isn't two weeks, unless I'm misunderstanding you.

Most responsible sources discourage handling pups before their eyes are open, which is at about two weeks. Touchy females, especially new pets or first-time moms, are at high risk of culling the litter in response to the slightest stresses. Though since she's been fine so far, I think you're good. Breeders (of Campbell's) who have had their females for quite a while will handle the pups from just a few days old, but my forum wouldn't want me to tell you that. So for future pregnant hamsters (since everything you touch has babies, lol), no handling pups til two weeks or so. And with Syrians (teddy bears or whatever people call them... the big ones) don't touch, take pictures of, look at, or sneeze near the pups, because the females are famous for culling some or all at the slightest surprise.

It sounds like you're doing a really great job with these guys, though. Mondo kudos.
