Is it okay to have two female hamsters in one cage and if one is pregnant?

cause i have 2 female hamsters should i separate them? and one is pregnant. how many days will she born the babies?
Answers:
ok are you SURE they are both female??
Beside that two female rodents together will not cause harm- they will be more cleanly and pine less. When your hamster gives birth separate them!! Your other hamster may attack the babies or try and mother them herself no joke.
The gestation period of the common hamster is between 18-21 days
She should be active and building a nest and two or three days before giving birth
DONT TOUCH HER WHILE SHE IS GIVING BIRTH! also try and limit contact with other hamster while the babies are young- (weak immune systems) careful protective mothers BITE!
They should be separated. The other female may try and eat the babies. If you want to leave them together, try putting a small drop of vanilla extract on the other females nose. This will mask the scent and she may believe the babies are hers.
The gestation time fore hamsters is less than eight weeks.
I think you should separate the two hamsters..
you don't have to separate them. they will typically be pregnant for 3 weeks. i have bred hamsters for 3 years now and even with the males in the cage i didn't need to separate them.
well yea you should separate them because if the other one hurts the pregant one then the babies might get hurt.!! i would separate them...plz do
they might eat da babies. Seprate
