You should consider how many offspring breeding dwarf hamsters will result in, and what you would do with the young of course. Litters can have up to 20, and don't expect your local pet store to take them off your hands they have their own supplier. Both hamsters should be of the same breed and at least 4-6 months old.

First, are they healthy? Second, consider the temperment of the two mating. Do you have space to separate the male from the female after mating? Do you have room for the babies? Do you have room to separate the mother from the babies when it's time? Do have room to separate the babies before they can proliferate?

Make sure that the mom is living lavishly to sum it up. The cage must be clean and sanitary so the babies don't catch any diseases. Make sure that the mom is well fed so she has the nutrients to transmit it to her babies.
