How to Breed Hamsters
Getting hamsters to breed is fairly easy, but sometimes a pair just won't conceive. Here is how to introduce a male and female and help them mate.
What Breeds of Hamster Are There?
Common pet hamsters include the Campbell's (three-line), Winter White (one-line), Roborovski, and Syrian (golden) hamsters. Campbell's types such as the silver fox and pudding are gentle and can be paired after introductions; Syrians are solitary and short-tempered, so house them alone. Choose purebreds to lower diabetes risk, give a roomy cage with a wheel, and feed a proper mix with treats in moderation.
How Do Hamsters Reproduce?
Hamsters can breed at 3-4 months. When a female is in heat, introduce a male in a dating cage; after mating she ejects him and gives birth in 15-22 days.
How do you get a hamster pregnant?
Hamsters can breed at about 3 months; look for swollen chest and changed calls. Pair a 4-5 month male with a female, avoid inbreeding; litters of 5-12 after 15-22 days.
