I think there are different thoughts on scruffing hamsters these days. Some people are pros at it. But a vet I saw said they aren't allowed to do it any more and if done incorrectly it can cause damage or even make an eye pop out or something. I think if you do need to it's maybe important to support them under the backside at the same time and not have them lifted in mid air.
