They can get pregnant as warly as 25, 26 days old. It is not safe for them to have babies until they are full gorwn- at about 4 months old.

Ham Wanna, if you do decide to breed, please don't inbreed them by going brother to sister, thats irresponcible.

Wrong. It is many weeks beyond that.
When I had an accidental litter I started separating them from the mom starting at three weeks, and I started separating them by gender at six weeks or so.
By week seven I had a pair of SAME gender hamsters paired in a bin. Soon after that each one lived alone.

DO NOT BREED AT ALL. Every time you do you are in effect abandoning hamsters who need to be rescued. Most of mine come from shelters.

i dont know where you get your info, but they are sexually mature at 4 week old...i did NOT say they start to mate...thats a whole different issue
then again, it also depends on what kind of dwarfs she has...some dwarf hamsters mature later than others.
do some research before yelling 'wrog' at someone
