Agreed! Don't get a male and female or you will end up with babies. Then if you don't separate the parents before the birth she'll just have another litter right away. Back-to-back litters are really hard on the female and she and her pups will suffer. Plus you'll end up with possibly dozens of pups that will need housing and if any mistakes are made sexing you'll start to have inbreeding if the original pair weren't already siblings. It will be a nightmare, and more so for the hamsters.
