Man and female Syrians?

Question

will a man and female hamster bread. or will they fight and also can you sell them to a local pet shop cos i don't want loads of baby hamsters everywhere!

Answer 1

Male and female syrian hamsters will mate but are more likely to fight to the death if kept together for too long. Syrian hamsters can only be kept alone. If you want more than one hamster then you need to look at a different breed but you will then have to make sure that they are all female or all male or else you will end up with lots more hamsters.

Answer 2

firstly by 'man' i presume you mean male hamster! :-)

if you have a male and female of most types of animal they will breed (or try), if you do not want baby hamsters then you could try separating the cages or getting two females, but i have found that most hamsters fight with each other regardless of the s*x. pet shops/zoo/rspc should all take the baby hamsters but the best way to avoid unwanted babies is separation.

Answer 3

It's most likely but remember the female might not be in the mood so they might not, (the male will always be,lol!) remember to leave them be and patiently watch, breed them at night, put the female in the male's cage because they will fight if you o it the other way round, if they start to fight put the female back in her cage and wait till next evening and the hamsters must be at least 5 months old.

After they have breed a couple of times, give the female and nesting box and then change out her cage. Leave her be and change her water

and food when she runs out. she will be pregnant for about 16 days. About a month and a half after the breeding, the baby hamsters should of started r running about in the cage. Remove them from the female and from each other then you can sell them to people you know or donate them to a pet shop.

Good luck ;)
