How old are they now? You say they are grown up. Have they been fully weaned and are now eating and drinking well?

Once they are 4 weeks old you need to sex and separate them into groups of boys and girls or they may start breeding. The girls can stay with mum if she's ok with it.

I had a dwarf hamster who licked my skin which is something some hamsters do. Most just sniff or nibble to check if we are something edible.
