Question
i have two males and two femmale dwarf hamsters.  Do you know of any pills, drugs, hormones, aromatherapy or anything in that such that i may use to boost one of their sex drives?  

Answer
There is nothing known to boost a hamster's sex drive. Hamsters produce a lot of litters during the year and can produce up to 12 litters in a year although it is not recommended that you constantly breed them like that to produce a lot of litters. If you are doing this as a project I would stop right now because you have to think where will you put all the hamsters and will you be able to give them good homes. Also you have to know when to seperate the hamsters so they won't produce another litter soon after because hamsters can get pregnant a few hours after giving birth.
