Default Help!!

hi,
my roborovski hamster had a litter of 2 babies nearly 4weeks ago. she is in a separate cage from the 2 males.
i have tried to sex them and think i have one male and one female baby, how do i go about separating them as they are meant to be kept with the same sex litter for another 2wks but as i only have one of each sex, do i just keep them with the mum or keep the female with the mum and put the male in with the 2dads??
also i checked today and she has had another baby, can i still keep the older babies in with her?
please help
katie

Default hamster weaning

I'd remove the male at 4.5 weeks or you might get another litter.Leave the female in with the mother and new baby.Would you be able to sex the new baby?If it's a male it could be the companion for the older baby male when it's weaned.
