Hamsters to breed?

Question

how to breed hamsters? I have two female hamsters and i will buy just one male. Is that good. I have know clue on what to do but i must breed them

Answer 1

Why must you breed them?  Is someone holding a gun to your head?  You need to research extensively before attempting to breed any animal and decide realistically whether or not you can do it in a responsible way.  Bringing new life into the world, especially considering  the sizes of rodent litters and how quickly they multiply, is a very serious commitment that will require a huge amount of time, money, and determination to keep all the hamsters healthy.  Also, do you have any idea what you would do with the babies?  You have to know how to screen potential buyers so you have an idea of how well they would take care of a hamster; you can't just sell them to any random people, at least not if you care about them, and you wouldn't cause these lives to be created in the first place if you weren't going to care what happens to them, right?

***Breeding***

   -Two Females and one male is perfectly fine. Actually there's a bigger chance of the male finding a mate.

Needs-

   -3 cages

   -Plenty of food and water

   -Some like to have something to nest with such as wool, cotton, grasses, feathers, or even lint from the laundry.

The prosses-

   -Put the male and 2 females in one cage. Let the male find his male (ether my folowing it or doing the dirty)

Once the male has found his mate keep him and the female in the cage and remover the other one and put it into the one of the sepret cages. Keep the male in for a little longer. about 10 days (make sure you know there breeding, the female gets a plump belly, and nipples get bigger)

   -After about 15 days be sure to remove the male and put him into another cage by him seft because he will eat the babys!

How long?-

   -Syrian hamster's gestate for 16-18 days. Dwarf hamsters gestate for 18-21 days. In my own experiance, the dwarves run closer to the 21 day mark, than the 18.

Next-

   -Once they've given birth, make sure to keep the cage in a quiet location, and keep the water & food fresh every day. Add in some sliced cucumber each day for the mom, as it helps hydrate her. Just a few small chunks, like half a slice a day.

   -Hamsters live in clutters so the mother and the babys can live together. Next you should find a way to sell them or give them to a pet store(selling can take a long time!)

Answer 3

That should be fine. I suggest that when your female hamsters give birth, you seperate them from the male, because he may eat them.
