Default Re: Hamster baby colors?

The two hamsters are compable colours for breeding. The female is a long haired black eyed cream and the male is a SH sable. Pups from this mating would depend on whether the male has one or two umbrous genes. The most likely outcome is Black eyed cream pups and sable pups. You may get other colours should they both carry recessives. The female should be 4-6months to mate. I'd say the cage set is not suitable for a nursing female as there are too many separate areas that the pups could wander in to and get stuck. I'd suggest a large, deep storage box. Research carefully on colours and care of the mother and litter. It's very important you leave her strictly alone with no disturbance for the first 14 days so make sure you can accommodate this.
