I breed mice and, while they're not exactly the same, their needs are fairly similar. I almost always allow my pregnant females to have a wheel while pregnant so they can stay healthy and active. The only exception is if I know they're due very soon, but haven't started nesting yet. If I think that the wheel is over-riding their instincts, then I take it out.
I usually take the wheel out for the first week after the pups are born, but with hamsters you have to be even more careful not to disturb the mother so I would probably just leave it in.
If you do end up removing the wheel, I would recommend giving it back to her within a couple weeks of the pups' birth so she can start to get back into shape.

yes, up until birthing. I wouldnt recommend having the wheel in with small babies, there is just to much potiental for injuries to occur. When the babies are around 4/5 weeks of age and they are ready to begin being held i would allow them access to the wheel along with mother. You will need to beging sexing the young soon after this to begin seperating males and females, the age on this will vary depending on whether you have a syrian hamster or a type of dwarf, i would recommend researching this on your own beings as the type of hammy is not mentioned in your post.

try putting the male in yet another room to the female. it might desire to be that he can experience some thing is up via the female hamsters heady scent. while woman hamsters get pregnant they have extra hormones of their blood and this transformations their heady scent. So if the male can not scent the female he wont be so under pressure. yet its incredibly the female we could calm down, so she would not injury the toddlers. provide her a lot of bedding and positioned the cage in a dismal and heat room with a non-fluctuating warmth. The room could be noiseless without direct photograph voltaic on the cage. on an identical time as she is pregnant (2-2 one million/2 weeks) do no provide her any clean greens or fruit because it might desire to disappointed her abdomen. in simple terms shop her satisfied till the beginning (i could take the wheel out till the toddlers are in yet another cage) And while they are born do not touch them till they are ingesting dried foodstuff (2 weeks) because of the fact that is once you may take them out (perhaps at 4 weeks) and separate them from the mum. wish that facilitates and sturdy success with the beginning.

It may be better for her so she can stay healthy during the pregnancy. Just like a woman who is pregnant and goes jogging, a hamster will benefit from the excersize.

yes, it IS fine for your hamster to run. Just make sure it's not every minute, or every hour. Running will keep her blood circulating so her babies can recieve nourishment. If she shows any signs of fatigue, you might want to take away that wheel :]
