Go to google, type something along the lines of "dwarf hamster pregancy", and, using it to find info myself, i find tons of info on hamster-related subjects. Hope it helps.
PS if you know when they mated, be sure to clean the cage around 2 days before expected birth. DO NOT TOUCH THE HAMSTERS. im sure you know this but it is a good idea to say it just in case. It is horrible to see the little things get canniballized, my sister was an experienced breeder and the first few times, she found it difficult to care for them, but they were syrians, dwarves are easier by birth terms.

How long does it take for the nipples to come if she is pregnet and does the male have to be with her?

well im going 2 take my male out as soon as the pups are born because i don't want any more hamsters i have 3 already and im going 2 keep 2 or 3 of the pups but today is her due date and her nipples started 2 show about 2 or 3 days ago.

You should take the male out if today is her due date. You do not want the male in their while she is in labor, and once she has the babies, you do not want the male in there.

The male could harm the babies if you keep him in too long.

Ah..Did not notice it was a dwarf hamster. The male will help, but not always. It depend's on the male's personality.
