P.S.  They are Russian Dwarf Hamsters-They have short memory.  thanks!

Answer
Hi Esther,

You can try placing the male baby in with the father.  There are no guarantees that they'll get along, so watch them very carefully, and if you see any injuries or blood, place the male baby in another cage.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
