Any bedding or other items would need to be disinfected and left at least 3 weeks ideally in case of unknown illness or disease that could be passed on. Food I'd leave a couple of weeks as well.

I agree that reading up about the species of hamster is a good idea and making sure everything is right for them. Also read up about what to look for to check a hamster is healthy.
