hamster trouble!

Question
Hi. Im Kiana. I have 3 female hamsters Tina,Daffodil & Daisy. Anyway Daisy is a 4 month old teddybear hamster. My sister is getting a male blackbear or pandabear hamster and since hes younger and also a different kind will the breeding work out??

Answer
Hi Kiana,

Actually, a Teddy Bear hamster and a Panda Bear hamster are the same species of hamster - Syrian.  Those are just cute names for a Syrian hamster :)  So, the breeding should work out fine, as long as you wait until the female hamster is in heat (which occurs every 4 days).  Also, be sure to place the female in the male's cage.  (If you place the male in the female's cage, she'll beat him up.)

As long as the male hamster is 6-8 weeks old, he's old enough to breed.

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