Most of the time no... but sometimes you really need to. Depends on the breed. Some hamsters will actually become "depressed" if they're not with their mate and others try to kill they're mate!!! YIKES a big difference right?

What will happen if the boy hamster is not taken out of the cage when the girl hamster is pregnant?
They will probably fight. However, a dwarf hamster male can stay in the cage with the female. He can help raise the babies.

How can your hamster have babies?
A hamster can have babies by (being a boy\girl) placing another hamster of the opposite sex into the same cage. This might also result in them fighting, which in that case.....you can either put up with them and assume the feeling is mutual, or you can remove the female\male from the cage. Make sure if the female does get impregnated that she stays healthy, watered, and well-fed, and when she gives birth to her hamster babies she doesn't eat them (which hamsters WILL do.) You're welcome! P.S. If this isn't what you meant by "How can your hamster have babies?" then please feel free to point this out.
How many hamster babies can your hamster have?

Can you leave another female hamster in the cage after the mother has given birth?
no you cant have two females in the same cage after one has giving birth they will fight over the babies... and the other female might try to eat the new born babies.
Will a male hamster eat it's own young?
You are supposed to put him in a cage next to the female and babies but not with them. I have bred hamsters and have made that mistake.
What to do while cleaning a hamsters cage while babies are in there?
If you clean the hamster's cage before the babies are old enough, the mother might kill her babies.
When can you take the mommy hamster out of the cage after she has her babies?
Sorry, but I'm pretty sure you can't but after the mommy hamster dies, you can hold the babies!
Why is my hamster going in circles It share its cage with 1 other hamster and its cage is 7 by 12. Why Everything seems normal on my hamster. HELP?
Hamsters aren't supposed to share cages if there syrians(dwarf hamsters can share a cage very happily). Your hamsters could kill eachother; hamster's nature is to roam alone. However, if you have one male hamster, and one female hamster, this may not apply, as the female can, well, you know, with the male and before you know it.... pop goes the BABIES. Be prepared.
Does the male hamsters have to be in a separate cage if the female hamster is pregnant?
Yes. I learnt that the hard way. The female gets stressed and attacks the male as an act of protection for her unborn babies.
