Can the object parenting be animated? How to link an object to hand in DAZ3D?

I need to create a simple scene. A cow is at a table. The waitress come in. She leave a big glass on the table. Meanwhile the waitress leave the scene the cow take the glass and wait for more. 
So the problem is that when I go to the keyframe 20 and parent the glass to the cow's hand... the glass is parenting from the keyframe 0.

Or for example... How can animate a male character giving a flower to a female character? I mean start whith the flower parented to the man hand... and in x frame the flower be linked to the female hand? Is these posible?

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

    Although some animation suites have now gained aniamtable aprenting it's newish, and DS doesn't ahve it. The time-honoured method is to render each segment separately (it's wise to render to an image sequence anyway) and then stitch them together, rather than trying to do the whole thing as a single sequence.

    yeah...I was thinking that. So basically the solution is to create 2 scenes. THe first one parenting with the hand of one character and in the other scene, starting with the latest frame of the 1... to parent the object to the character B. Correct?

    Now... can I delete or add frames? I mean if the animation have 100 frames. From frame 0 to 50 the character A give the object to B in the frame 50.  The second scene should start from frame 50. How can I delete the first 49 frames?

    You could just have a single scene file, to make editing easier, and parent a copy of the prop to each figure. Hide it on the second owner, render the first half of the frames, hide it on the first owner, show it on the second, and render the second half of the frames.

    You can use constraints in Animate2 to do it, but I am not sure if this is available in the lite version, maybe you have to buy Animate2.
