Well you have given it a lot of thought and have an outlet for the babies. You have experience of breeding guinea pigs, if you want to breed a litter I would say go ahead and breed a litter. You only learn from experience.
I have only been keeping hamsters for 18 months and have now had 4 litters, Holly got her first petshop hamsters at the same time as me and she has also now had 4 litters.
When I bred my first litter I had not intention of getting back into showing animals, that just sort of happened. I just wanted to breed a litter of babies so I bought a pair of well bred parents from a show breeder. I was prepared to keep all the babies if necessary.
It is entirely up to you Naomi.
