Britney,
 Hi. Well first, congrats! Hamters are pregant for about 16 days. When the babies are born, you need to take the dad out and put him a different cage or will eat the babies. Keep feeding cocoa the same things you've been feeding her. Make sure she always has enough food and water though. She will be in heat soon after birth but dad can't be in the cage when that happens. You can breed the same male with more than one femalae, just give a few days before you do it. Long haired hamsters and short haired wil breed just fine. You might have all long haired babies or short haired babies though. Good luck and let me know if there is anything else!

Britney,
 Once the hamsters open their eyes you can put some rice krispies in the cage for them to eat. They may not go to them right away but soon enough they'll be munching on them.  We're not actually allowed to give out screen names, sorry. But if you have any questions feel free to send them to me and i'll get back to you as soon as i can. Good luck.
