if you touched it by hand then you will then have to take care of it yourself because the mom will reject it or eat it. to take care of it you will need a separate cage or something to keep it in. you will have to make hamster formula(i do not know how to make that.)keep it warm check on it every few hours. after you've made the formula you will have to put it into a small low wall bowl for the baby and refresh it everyday the baby will need your help to survive on its own until it is 2 weeks old. you will have to treat it like it is your own baby and make sure nothing is wrong with it.once the baby is then 2 weeks old. you will have to take the other babies from the mother and put them into a different cage from the mother the babies can go into the same cage for a while. but the cage will have to be big like a ferret cage. what you will have to do with the baby you have been taking care of is get a small box of the mothers bedding and rub the baby all in it and then put it into the new cage with the other babies. you have to do this so that the other
babies don't attack it. this will make the baby smell like it cam from the mothers cage so the babies will think that it had been in the mothers cage the whole time.
