Re: Haaalp!! I'm stressing over this behavior.
Do you mean they bolt when you trying to get them out and put them back? If so, have you tried letting your hamsters come out of the cage in their own time and on to your hands?
How are you picking them up? if you aren't already doing so, have you tried gently placing your hands on the floor and scooping them up, (not grabbing from above) or again let them come to you in their own time.
From the photos (very cute btw) it looks like you have a run, is there room for you to try and get in with your hamsters (one at a time - obviously!)
When they are out, have you tried letting them go from one hand to the other and repeat a few times then let them run off again, without you putting them away immediately?
