Generally speaking I've had more males as I can show them longer before I use them for breeding but also because it gives any illnesses such as diabetes the chance to show itself before breeding.

At the moment I've got 4 Male Campbells, 1 Male Winter White, 3 Male Roborovski, 1 Male Chinese, 1 Female Syrian, 4 Female Chinese and 2 Female Roborovski.

My last surviving litter (which was two years ago now) consisted of six males to one female but the next generation on that line (who were bred by a friend) consisted of entirely females.
