They are about 2-3 months old now. When they were in the play pen together, they got along fine, and they rolled around and fought a couple of times, then I put them back to their cages. Maybe they aren't ready yet, or they may not be in heat yet??

i would suggest you do some research on how to mate hamsters before you try it...
As hamsters are solitary animals, the female will not readily accept the male. Both must be introduced gradually and close supervision given. If the female is not ready to mate, she can be seen trying to turn the male onto his back by putting her nose under his belly. Then both hamsters must be separated.
Before mating, both hamsters will sniff each other and the female will stand quite still with her hind legs braced and her tail and ears erect when the male places his front paws on her back. Then mating will take place. For Syrian hamsters, the male should be separated from the female after mating. This is to prevent one or both of the parents from destroying the babies. For dwarf hamsters, the male can be retained in the cage as he can help to raise the litter. If you want to continue to breed the pair, do not remove the male when the litter is born, because you probably will not be able to introduce the pair again afterwards.

Haven't you ever seen an action movie? Constantly fighting is a very common sign of being in heat. What you have to do is set them up in some swanky bungaloo for the night.

If they both go into heat then....not to be repetative but, maybe they're both chics. I would LOVE it so much if I had two lesbian fighting hampsters that I may actually consider them a pet worth owning.

it may well be extra effective in the event that they did no longer mate. purely shop them aside and you will evade undesirable babies and undesirable war of words. reality is that in the event that they did initiate combating there's a very low probability you would be waiting to split them formerly severe injury is accomplished. those tooth can incredibly inflict deep injuries.

Maybe same sex, and maybe they just need to get used to eachother. put yourself in thier shoes (lol), would you mate after you JUST met? maybe give it some time if not maybe it's kinda like you and your hating someone else's guts b/c their just plain annoying or maybybe b/c one is trying to dominate.

caged animals dont do so good mating. who really know why. it happens in zoos so its not only you. that is why they are trying to go to wild animal parks so they have a more natural enviorment and get it on.

Because hamsters that aren't related or that weren't raised together are not supposed to be together! PLEASE do some research before you get a pet or try something unsafe with them!
