what Kind of Hamster Is She?

[debs]

Hey. i got a hamster Giving to me the other day but i dont know what Kind she is but i was wondering if you guys could help? or even tell me heres a pic off her http://i43.tinypic.com/98bz7s.jpg all so i was thinking of getting a little friend for a male good idea or bad??

I would say she is some sort of grey Syrian hamster.
Syrian hamsters are solitary animals and will fight badly so a cagemate is a definite no no as are playdates.
Enjoy her on her own :)
Welcome to the forum.

Definitely not a male aswell unless you want babies!!!
Don't worry about her being lonely she will get all the attention she needs off you :)
Have alook around the site for ideas if you feel shes bored.

Thanks Guys i will do :) ai may later on but can they be too old to have pups?? am Just wondering Like i said am pretty New.

[fluffymunchkins]

They can be too old to have a litter yes, specially their first litter should be had at about 4-5 months of age.
I won't start the whole rant about the commitment and experience needed to breed.
maybe someone else will run that by you.

Hi and welcome :) Definately a Syrian, she looks lovely :) Have you got a name for her yet?

Before you think about breeding from her, have a look at this thread: http://www.hamstercentral.com/community/breeding-hamsters/309-think-before-you-breed.html

Hi Debs and Welcome. Your little girl is gorgeous! :-) A really girly name would suit her like Annabella, Bella, Belle - she is very pretty!

aww she looks likr my first hamster casper :) take time letting her get used to her cage, then your hand in her cage, then eating from your hand then gently lifting her...its tempting to go fast but she'll be the tamest thing ever after x

[debs]
