Re: How to breed hamsters
You can't 'bread' hamsters just because you think they are 'stunning'. Do you know anything about hamster genetics? Is your hamster a petshop hamster or a breeder hamster? Would the lady hamster be yours or someone else's?
Please think this through, breeding shouldn't just be entered into lightly!

Re: How to breed hamsters
I would strongly counsel against it. Things can go very wrong, from birth defects due to incompatible genes, to mum culling the babies. Unless you've done a lot of detailed research it is too risky.

Re: How to breed hamsters
I would read this ( Think Before You Breed!) very thoroughly before you go any further as well as investing in a copy of Hamsterlopaedia. Breeding hamsters can be enjoyable and rewarding, but can also be heartbreaking, hard work and costly. Responsible and ethical breeding for heath, temperament and NHC standards is one thing, but breeding for 'fun' is another - there are plenty of hamsters in rescue looking for new homes already.

Re: How to breed hamsters
Breeding is not as easy as people think. There are many risks. I hope you decide against it...

Re: How to breed hamsters
I can't speak for anyone else, but I didn't attend to come across as annoyed. At least you asked before you did anything like mate your hamster. I just want you to have all the facts so you can make a decision about whether to breed, or whether you wait and research or whether it's not for you at the moment instead of rushing in. Perhaps you could look at some of the other breeding threads as common themes arise, and search for one about a hamster called Hush Puppy (especially page 8 onwards).
Please don't stop asking questions
ETA: found the thread and linked it!
