Default Re: Pet Store Breeding

Hello!
Did you mean you wanted to start breeding hamsters yourself from pet store hamsters? From what I have previously heard and depending on where you are from, a lot of pet store hamsters have at some point been interbred and may have a few genetic issues, often coming from large breeding mills, which is why it can take a lot of research, preparation and knowledge to start breeding your own hamsters and I think breeding from pet store bought hamsters would not be a good idea.
Most reputable breeders will know the many generations of the hamsters they are breeding, including temperament and genetic issues of the generations, but with pet store hamsters that just isn't possible.

Hope this helps!
Alice
