My hamsters fight after reintroducing male. Can they live together?

Question

I had a male and female hamsters and they were playful but when she had a baby I separated male from the cage. Two weeks have passed the baby is healthy, but when I put male in their cage again the female and baby started to fight with him. The male wasn't doing anything. Please help I want them to live together.

If you put the male in again she will have babies every 4 weeks, There is a possibility that she will not accept the male as a constant companion anymore. You can split the cage in half and put a grid between the male and the female so they can get used to each other again. However there is a chance it may not work and you will have to keep them separate.
