You should separate the baby hamsters from the mother when they are 4-5 weeks old. Hamsters are solitary creatures and should be kept in separate cages after they reach this age. If you keep them together, they will fight, sometimes to the death and/or reproduce. Female hamsters are sexually mature at 2 months old. They can become pregnant every 3-4 days (estrus) and their pregnancy lasts 16-18 days.
Separating a baby hamster from its mother too early can lead to health and behavioral issues for the baby. It's best to wait until they are around 3-4 weeks old before separating them from the mother to ensure they are properly weaned and can transition to solid food. If separated too early, the baby may not be able to thrive and may suffer from stunted growth or malnutrition.
