Default Re: Cohabiting Syrians

No absolutely not!
You must research breeding carefully. The female will only tolerate the male for a few hours when she is in full heat or else she will attack him. They must never be allowed access to another hamster and only put together for supervised mating. Nature taking it's course would mean the female killing or maiming the male with syrians.
The Qute is not a suitable breeding cage either. It's far too small and the pups can't get up to the top level either for water.
Really think long and hard and learn loads before you even think about it. You also need a large vet fund and a litter of pups eats a ton of food. We have 10 pups here just now who are eating about 1kg every 3 days plus all the extras they need!
