Question Can a female be in heat 2 days in a row?

Okay well this September 11th and 12th my Female Syrian hamster that I bred 10 days ago went in heat the 11th (but didn't go in heat after I bred her the day she was supposed to but not the day i bred her, she was in heat there), I went to play with her yesterday night and when I was petting her near her bottom she did the heat position and had sort of a smell meaning she was in heat (she only did this a while after I took her out) . I got my male (not wanting to breed them) and it took him a while before he started to but I took him away, and put him back with her in the play pen (I know the male should enter first but I just couldn't as I didn't think she would be in heat for 2 days in a row!) and he didn't want to mate. But when he got really close my female would sorta go on her back with her mouth open and when I pet near her belly she would go on her side/back and open her mouth at me!

So My questions are..
Why did my hamster go in heat 2 days in a row? Was it a fake heat? Is this a sign of pregnancy? (This has never happened to my other female when she was in heat)

And..

Could my hamster pregnant even though she went in heat 2 days in a row?

Thank you

Sorry, but I'm confused ... You say you got your male and didn't want to breed them, but you said "he didn't want to mate" ... Why would you put him in there to mate with her if you don't want to breed them. Also, the other day you were asking about females going into heat after getting pregnant, yet you weren't actually sure if she was pregnant?? Either I'm missing something or something doesn't add up because I'm totally confused!

No, I put him in there to see if sh was in heat, but never mind this I don't need it anymore she came in heat for a third time and day in a row, but she is really pear shaped so I will just treat her lke she is pregnant (meaning give her all the stuff she will need)

You said:

"I got my male (not wanting to breed them) and it took him a while before he started to but I took him away, and put him back with her in the play pen (I know the male should enter first but I just couldn't as I didn't think she would be in heat for 2 days in a row!) and he didn't want to mate"

So you're saying that he didn't want to mate, but if you didn't want to breed them then why put them together?
