Answer
Hi Kim,

you do not seem to know much about hamsters so i would not advise you to breed them.

Please separate your Male and Female straight away and please do not attempt to breed hamsters until you have researched the breed thoroughly.

Breeding is not just a case of putting a Male and Female hamster together and waiting for her to get pregnant - there is a lot more to learn about!

You must never breed from related stock so if you brought them from a pet shop, from the same litter, then they can not be housed together and allowed to breed.

Breeding is about improving the breed so it is best not to breed from hamsters brought from the pet shop - it is best to breed from hamsters obtained from an experienced and established breeder who can tell you the histories of all of their hamsters.  You must make sure the hamsters are healthy too.

Please separate your hamsters and let me know if you need any more information.

Kind Regards,

Tammy
