seperating babies from mother

Question
my dwarf hamster just had babies a week ago. i know you cant seperate them until 3 weeks. i read you have to seperate them from male-female and the mother. would i be able to keep one female in the cage with her mother?

Answer
You can actually keep the females with the mom and just seperate the males. :) Dwarf hamsters are more lenient about having more than one hamster in the cage with them. Since the mother has raised them she will probably be okay with all of the female babies staying together.
