Question
I was just wondering but can to diffrent types of hamsters mait or so have babies?Oh and also I am tring to find out why my boy teddy bear hamster keeps getting alot of fur?

Answer
Hi Olivia,

No, hamsters have to mate with their own kind.  For example, Syrian hamsters (also known as Teddy Bear hamsters) can only mate with other Syrian hamsters.  And Campbell's Dwarf hamsters can only mate with other Campbell's Dwarf hamsters.

Have a great weekend!

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
