Can the male babies be introduced to their dad?
Giggles is looking quite plump and I did her final cage clean out today, so we are expecting soon! Giggles and Fatty do look quite lonely in their massive cages - would it be possible to introduce a male baby to the father? If so, how long shall I wait before I do it? Same thing, can I keep one of the girls with the mum for long-term? (I will be selling the babies to the pet shop because they made an error on sexing, and would be willing to buy my babies).
Meanwhile, is there anything I should remove from mum's cage during the pregnancy? I plan on removing the wheel and sandbath, but what about tissue rolls and tubes?
Thanks!

Re: Can the male babies be introduced to their dad?
i have a mum and daughter living together fine. and also a dad and son introduced at 4 weeks old .
tissue rolls should be fine i always leave them in as i feel a bit bad about leaving nothing in with them. i just take out anything that can harm the babies

Yh, I know a few people who have kept babies to keep dad company
If you introduce them just as you would any other dwarf introduction then I would think you'll have no problem!
Tammys website has a great page on introducing dwarfs

Looked on Tammy's website and only found reintroduction for robos, not dwarfs.. unless they're the same?

Robos are a species of dwarf hamster. If your dwarfs are campbells, then re-introductions should be nice and simple!
