Breeding Hamsters

[Sensei345]

Wish I could help, I would really just recommend rats. I feel like they are more prolific breeders and have larger litters, and don't cannibalize as often. Why would it cost you so much to get a hold of some breeder rats?

I think I also just don't see hamsters as feeders, hate the little buggers. Good luck with yours.

The cost for getting something different is so high simply because of where I live there is no pet store. The nearest one that I can get them from is 16 hours of driving away which cost me just about $300 in gas alone so I could get the hamsters. Additionally, rats are illegal to own in the province I am in, with the exception of one species. I just can't remember which species that is.

Well, I'll give it a shot with these little guys. If anyone has ever had any experience breeding hamsters or know someone who does please let me know as this is new for me. If anyone is interested I could post my results up for you to see as well.

Thanks for the insight so far though, kinda makes me wish I had got mice instead but hey, you live and you learn.
