Okay,my Parents Want To Move The 10 Days Old Syrian Hamsters To The Lower Level Of The Cage. Should My Parents Do That? Because I Think The Mom Hamster Will Get Stressed And Eat Them. Wont She Move Them To The Lower Level Where There Is More Room By Herself?.or How Long Should We Wait Until We Can Move Them?and How Long Should I Wait So I Could Clean The Cage?

since they are about two weeks old now, that should be ok to move them, but if the mother hamster needs more room I'm sure she will move the babies. You can handle to babies now and there should be not threat of the mom eating them. Usually she should be ok with you holding them, I doubt she would eat them at that age. You should be able to clean the cage now. Unless the mom hamster is agressive towards you she should not mind you cleaning her cage or handling the babies.
