To breed you will have to put the female in the male's cage or a neutral breeding cage. The male always goes in first. The female is much more territorial than the male and will fight and possibly kill him even if she is in season if you do it the other way around.

Always watch the pair carefully. Have leather gloves handy at all times. Fighting could break out at any second. If a fight breaks out use gloves and separate the two immediately! The gloves are to protect your hands when you separate the two. (You do not have to wear gloves, and I no longer do unless I know that one or the other is likely to be more vicious than usual. In most cases I try to get my hamsters friendly enough that once they feel my hand they will stop fighting.)

If the female is in season the male will mount her shortly. They will mate quickly and repeatedly in a short amount of time. After 30 minutes to an hour they will most likely loose interest and you should quickly separate them before fighting breaks out. Most of the time they will fight when they're finished. They may also just ignore each other when they're finished. The female should be put back in her own cage, or a cage specially prepared for her use during pregnancy and nursing. I just move her to her regular cage and then on the 12th day or so of pregnancy clean it and make it extra nice for the babies.

The female will not come back in season if she became pregnant. You can check to see if she is pregnant by putting her back in the male's cage or the breeding cage with the male. If she is pregnant she will fight the male and will not let the male mount her. (from my experience fighting breaks out very quickly. But again, they may just ignore each other) If she is friendly to him you can assume she wasn't pregnant after the first mating and let them mate again if you really want babies. I usually check in this manner every day for about 5 days just to be sure.
