Please separate them into their own cages. Breeding a brother and sister is not a very good idea. There may be some severe health related consequences. You will also have a hard time finding homes for the pups if people find out their parents are brother-sister. Most people find this idea quite repulsive.
As for as wet tail, the only species of hamsters that suffer from wet tail is Syrians. Since you have dwarves, this isn't anything that you have to worry about.

Wet tail is when the hamster has a wet rump and looks like it has sat in a puddle of water. If it is makeing soft stool it may be that it has recently had some veg or fruit in its diet.
Wet tail can affect any species of hamster, syrians, russian dwarf or roborovski.
