Introducing A Pair?

Question
How And When Can I Introduce A Pair Because I Have A 3 month old male dwarf and a 2 month old female dwarf?

Answer
First of all I would like to apologize for not answering your question sooner. Female hamsters should be at least four months old when they mate. In my opinion, it is better to wait until she is a little older, because breeding her to soon can result in her growth being stunted. I would wait until the male is 6 months and the female is five months.

I offer my deepest apologies, and I hope this was helpful.
