Re: Does anyone breed for temperament?
Our principle aim is temperament and we would never consider an animal with anything that might suggest it is not of good temperament. Few of our babies (we do not have many) go as show hamsters. The vast majority are pets which go to children and sometimes disabled people. We do have our breeding animals from other breeders though but would not breed them if there was any suspicion of biting tendancies. A lot of temperament is in the nurturing though and babies raised being handled from a young age and experiencing being handled by old and young, nervous and confident people can really help them. That is why we let the local kiddies play with them!
