I initially planned to give the babies away when they were of age, but since I have been here watching them grow daily, I am head over heels in love and do not wan to part with any of them. With that being said, I figured I should learn all I can about Hamsters and thus I found this community. I am eager to learn and share about our loving family.
Wow it seems like you've got a lot on your hands! Separate the males and female babies in 2 separate bin cages (once they've been weaned from their mother) and remember that hamsters are territorial and will each need a separate cage of 450sqin of unbroken floorspace if you plan on keeping all then. Hamsters are a handful, so good luck!
