because the female only comes into season every four days, then you should but them together four nights in a row. if she attacks the male, then she is not ready to mate, and you should carry on until they have mated. when she attacks the male, then you should separate them immediately , with thick gardening gloves!

when she is ready to mate then the signs are obvious, she will stand still and let the male mate with her. they should only be put together for 15 minutes or so, and you must always be watching them. if you leave them together for longer than that, then the female will get more and more active, and may turn on the male if he is still trying to mate with her.

also, you should never put the male into the female's cage. even if she is ready to mate, she will attack him. always introduce them in the male 's cage or on unknown ground.

i don't think that's true, i always stick my male hamster in the female cage and there just as happy together. it doesn't matter. my female prefers that the male is in her cage.

A female hamster can mate at 3 weeks, but if you are purposely mating them, it is best to have the female hamster at 8 weeks to borne healthy hamster pups.

What does it mean if you put a male dwarf hamster with a female dwarf hamster that already had babies?

Don't leave two hamsters together in the same enclosure - they will fight, even if they seem fine together when they are little. Keep them in separate enclosures and ask a specialist if you want to breed them.

If my hamster has baby's should i leave the male hamster in the same cage with the baby hamsters?

no, just the mother and the babies would be best. the male could eat the babies or hurt them. Or the mother and father could fight at some stage. Also you should never leave a male and a female hamster in the same cage unsupervised because even if they get on really well, you never know if they could start fighting or annoying each other.

Do you separate the Male roborovski hamster after the female has given birth?

You can leave them in the same cage ONLY if they are dwarf hamsters. No other breed of hamster can you put the male and female together with the babies, the male will hurt, kill, or even eat the babies. The male dwarf hamster, however, can actually help raise the babies with the female.
