I need to ask
Hello!!
My hamsters are all still very young and live in different rooms because some are from my roommate. I have one hamster she has 2.
Mine is named Saiko and is a female, she is only 5 months old and i think she is a winter white. This question does not has to be answered right now but i need to know.
In the future i would like to have 2 hamsters in 1 cage and i know that the best way to do this is to take a female and a male but with that i got 2 questions
1) If you are housing 2 hamsters together with a different gender will you let me know please? and how you did it?
2) If I decide to do the male-female thing and it works i will defenitly have lots of more little hammies and i will probably keep a few of them but what can i do with the others? Can i sell them to pet shops ? I'm only 14? (i know some of you will react that i have to sell them to friends and i will but this will be more than 5 hamsters)
PLEASE HELP ME OUT XXX
THANKSS

Re: I need to ask
Please do not house a male and female hamster together. You will end up with many many babies, and it's not very ethical. Syrians are also strictly solitary. Please enjoy your hamsters separately.

Re: I need to ask
I've two dwarfs and a syrian hamster. Before you decide to put two hamster together you have think about many things. Do you have a home for all your baby hamsters and if not do you have the space and money to raise up all of them? But if you're sure you can afford them, make sure you know the background information to prevent genetic diseases. if this is OK you can introduce your hamsters to eachother.

Re: I need to ask
Please don't breed your hamsters as it is never as simple as putting two hamsters together. At 14, I really don't think you should even attempt keeping two different gender hamsters together. If you truly cared about your hamsters, you would not sell them to a pet shop as you do not know where they will end up. If you bring an animal into this world, then that animal will always be your responsibility.

Re: I need to ask
I am so happy to hear that you are making the right decision not to put the two Syrians together, breed them, or give you pet to a pet store. That is a truly loving and mature decision to could make. Definitely enjoy each of them separately and have a marvelous time doing so.

Re: I need to ask
This reminds me of a video on youtube. I won't say the title because the video was literally PAINFUL to watch, but it was a family housing two dwarves in the same cage...and naively abusing them.
I emailed the youtube channel about a month ago, asking what had happened to the hamsters and just got a response saying that it turned out that one of the hamsters was a GIRL. They had still kept them together, saying it was a "learning experience" to see how the hamsters would interact. Needless to say, the female culled her babies, and continually gave litters until dying.
You are making the right decision.
Just saying.

Best decision for your little ones, and for you I think ... breeding sounds super stressful to me
