Should I let them settle in again?

Hi!

When we adopted our 2 dwarf hamster 2 weeks ago, we were instructed to not handle them for a few days so they could settle in.

We got a new cage (tank actually) and I’m wondering if any of you suggest doing that again since it is technically a new home.

I plan on using their bedding from the old cage in the new tank to help them feel more comfortable. I want this transition to go smoothly and hope I don’t disrupt their little lives too much with the change to a tank.

TIA for any advice or suggestions!

I just moved my hamster to a bigger cage today, set it up just like the other one. She just explored a little while and went back to her house.
