How do you get hamsters not to have babies?
Isolate the pregnant female from other hamsters, pets, people, and other distractions. Mother hamsters usually eat their babies because they feel threatened and cannot protect them. Male hamsters may eat babies, especially not their blood kin, as a way to ensure their own security.
Never handle the mother or babies until the young are several days old and the mother feels comfortable in taking care of them.

When is it a good time to get pregnant?
The right time to have a baby is when you feel the moment could be. There's not really a right answer for this question (because everyone comes from different cultures and therefore, different believes). But here are some suggestions that might help you when to choose to: Be ready or prepare either physically (at mature age) and emotionally (know what you're about to do). Be in agreement with your partner and/or family (this last is not necessary, in many cases).That this baby is coming because of the love you two have with each other. Have a budget of all the necessary needs (a home, money for: food, water, diaper, birth, etc). And surely much more. But regardless of everything, it's you who determine when the right time is to have a baby(ies). It's up to you to deicide when you are ready. My only advise is to think it through. Don't let anyone pressure you. Remember that YOU are the one having the baby, no one should make you make any decisions unless you ask them for advise. Consent with your partner about having a baby too. It's helps to know you'll have support after the baby is born. This is you choice you have to ask yourself if you are ready. If you think you are then you may not be you have to Know that you are.

If you want to keep more than one, keep them in separate cages.

From experience of having numerous hamsters as pets, I have found that the black teddy bear hamster is least aggressive.

There are many happy hamsters among the other breeds it just all depends on the animal itself.
What do you do if your dwarf hamster does not let you pet him?
Go slowly and take your time with the hamster. Feed him from a spoon that you are holding, then gradually work up to touching with a stick. Pet him with the stick for awhile and then try your finger. Eventually the hamster will warm up to you.
If he's a biter, then you should talk to him for a bit so he gets used to your voice, then try. If that doesn't work, make sure your hand does not smell like food or you fed him. Or leave your hand in there for a bit. Dwarf hamsters are known for biting you at first.
