Default Re: Hamster male/female ratio?

We tend to keep more males than females. We have also found that males tend to live longer in general and we can have several generations on males in the hamstery at one time. Just now we have our oldest (nearly 3) Fergus, Great Uncle, Dad - Nico and youngster Vincent. We also have two male dwarfs Klaus WW and Norman Chinese. Females just Rosetta and Crumble (adopted) Syrians. Litter wise we usually have equal numbers or slightly more females in litters.
