Question
will it be ok to keep 2 babys and there mom together forever???

Answer
Hi Ellie,

You should only keep one female baby in with the mother.  Two babies with their mother is too much.  Dwarf hamsters get along when they are in pairs.  However, they may fight if there are more than 2 to a cage.  (Male Dwarf hamsters are sometimes able to be kept 3 to a cage - but, female Dwarves are more aggressive and territorial.)

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