  1. No you shouldn't cause he will mate with the mother again

    and the mother might be defensive over the babies

    and your male will eat all of the babies wich is rly sad


  2. no he'll eat the babies!

  3. I made the mistake of leaving the daddy with the babies and mother and he slowly ate every baby. Remember, the mother won't make more babies until the new babies are gone and the daddy will try to eliminate all competition so he can make more babies. Don't do it. You could sell your babies to a pet store.

  4. Whether your hamster is syrian or dwarf, it is wise not to introduce the babies to the father.

    Syrians are highly territorial and you can never put a syrian in a cage full of babies since they would kill and eat them.

    Dwarf hamsters also can coexist only when they are from are from same litter. Your dwarf hamster has been separate for three weeks and tasted solitariness and suddenly putting him in the cage with the mother and babies would make him get angry and territorial and he might kill the babies. Best way to introduce dwarf babies to their father is to choose a neutral area like a hamster playpen, put the babies first there and then introduce the father. However keep a close watch, if he is showing any symptom of viciousness, immediately remove him and shelve the idea of introducing them.

    The babies have to be sexed and separated as males and females from the 5th week since they can mate at that age too and it is not good for their health.

    As for putting the male back with the female, I would not advise you to since the female requires some rest and if you put the male back again, she can get pregnant again and this can cause her health harm.

  5. No because they are to small still. Once they get aw big as the parents  and or strong. Then try it and watch for a little bit
