A baby dwarf can be feed with warm milk after birth. My advice is that you should let the mother feed the baby hamster as the hamster is blind & you can't touch. If it does not have a mother feed it fresh milk without touching it.

How do hamsters mate?

hamsters(doesn't matter what breed) will mater around every week. The reason why this is if you put a male and female hamster together in one cage the male will want sex almost everyday, but the female will refuse. So the female goes threw heat every four days and on the fourth day, not the day before it and not the day after it she will indeed mate with him. She will have a white smelly liquid come from her vagina and her rear will freeze in the air waiting for the male to penatrate. But only on that fourth day will she mate with him. This doesn't happen to often but if they absolutely refuse to mate, then you have to trick them to think its mating season. You either have to leave the lights on for 12 hours or more, or if its winter you'll have to buy a heater (like for lizard cages) for their cage. You should keep them together threw her pregnancy but on the day she gives birth seperate, them but really try your best not to bother her. Because she will feel threatend might eat or kill her young. After they mate, which will be 10-100 times, she most likely will be pregnant( ya never know) on the sixteenth day after they mated at around six o'clock will she give birth, i apologize for making this so long and boring but i want to give you the best information possible, beleive it or not theres even more. I hope this answers all of your questions, goodbye! PS: the reason why you separate them before she gives birth is because after the birth she will be in heat and the whole cycle of pregnancy will happen once again, but after that day put them back together, hes supposed to be with them
Well, first the male is attracted to the female's scent. He approaches her, sniffs her anus, and if the scent seduces the male, he will have an erection. (Yes, hamsters do have penises). He will then stick his penis into the vagina (on the bottom to the rear a little) of the female and proceed to have sex in the usual way...it may sometimes rub its penis in the anal and vaginal area of the female first. Mating usually only lasts a short time for hamsters, but they may mate several times. Scientist are not exactly sure if the female also gets pleasure out of mating in hamsters, but most of them agree that they do.

Why are gnats on hamster cages?

They are most likely fruit flies, not gnats. Well, the most common reason for fruit fly invasion is because leftover vegetables or fruit are being left untouched. Those flies like to crawl all over the fruit.

To get rid of them, clean the whole cage thoroughly and replace all food and bedding. If you don't you might find some maggots in your cage!

What should you do if your baby hamsters are behind your wall somewhere in your basement and won't come out?

Fish the hamster out.

Take a hamster treat out and firmly tie it to a long piece of thread. If you don't have specially made hamster treats, use vegetables, fruit, bread, or even peanut butter. Use something with a obvious smell. Cast your "hamster line" into that crevice and slowly reel it in. Make sure your hamsters are following the food. Once they are close enough, put a barrier behind the crevice so they won't go in again. Next, quickly scoop them up!

If your hamster gave birth to two hamsters and the other day one fell out of the cage and you picked it up with socks on your hands and put it back in the cage was that the right thing to do?

Yes, don't worry, this was the right thing to do. I have bred hamsters many times and I know that after about 2-3 days of giving birth the female will let you clean the cage and pick up the hamsters etc. They are less protective than guinea pigs which will reject their babies if they have a human smell on them. But, just watch the babies to be sure.
