You will also need to research genetics to be able to identify and correctly pair hamsters together, some pairings can cause issues (like eyeless white pups with the Wh gene). Please read This Thread and maybe reassess if you feel you are ready for breeding just yet. I am aware there are breeders in the US. I know Strong Brew Hamstery has knowledge on breeders in the US so maybe give them a message. It's also highly important, even after all your research, to have a mentor. They can help direct you and help you asses progress and help with any issues that arise. A mentor must be someone who experienced with breeding. They must be a reputable and responsible breeder so you can breed the correct way. |
Thanks so much for responding! I have been doing a lot of reading and I realise that this is not going to be a quick thing! I will try and do my best at all of these things👍
