Expert Answer

Generally, hamsters can be weaned 3 weeks after birth, but if development is slow or weak, extend weaning a bit. By 1 month, though, separate them individually to prevent early or inbred breeding.

Hamsters mature early; without separation they may breed early and inbred, which is very harmful to health and development.
