Default Mom with baby hamster

What will happen if you separated the babies from mom and you put one back in a week later? Will she recognize is hers? Will she try to fight the baby? In order to separate by sex now there is 1 female should she go on her own or is ok back with mom for a little longer. She is 5 weeks

Hello and welcome,

You are correct to separate the sexes at 5 weeks. They can stay in same sex groups up to about 8 weeks however she would be fine on her own now

Once they are separated from mum no you can't put one back as she won't have it back in her territory again after it has gone.
The singleton will be fine. Give her plenty attention and also extra bedding to stay warm in as she wont have siblings to cuddle up to.
