Many people do keep a few hamsters in close proximity. One thing though is it might drive the male a bit bonkers when the female comes in heat. You would need very secure cages! On the other hand if they don't know what they're missing - maybe they would just fall in love! I am not so sure on this aspect as to whether it is ok to have male and female in close proximity, I've only had males. It might be better to have two females.

I don't think it would make a female go into heat more often - they have a heat every 4 days as it is.
