my hamsters

[Aquamarine]

Teddy bear hamsters are syrian hamsters. Syrians are known for being solitary creatures. They like to be alone. If they're fighting you need to separate them and only put them together when the female is in heat if you want babies. When the female is in heat they will most likely not fight.

I have been having my male hamster almost a year now and i just baught the female this week and earlier today i was watching them play in their wheel and they suddenly started to jump on top each other and fight, i simply would of thought they were just playing around if they wasn't both squeeling badly like they was in pain which i'm sure they was in pain from hurting each other. But other then this issue today they have been like perfect mates.

Teddy bear hamsters/ Black bear hamsters/ Golden hamsters/ Panda hamsters/ Polar bear hamsters are ALL the *same* breed, called syrians.

You can *never* house these together, they are solitary and *will* kill each other eventually.

I'm sure you don't want to wake up to a bloody mess.

Syrian hamsters can have up to TWENTY babies.

Do you honestly have cages for them all?

If your hamster had 20 babies, you would need 20 safe wheels (Not the wire rungs), 20 good sized, safe cages, you would need to buy bedding for them all, what if one gets ill? what if they're all ill? You will need to pay the vet bills for them, which can get pricey.

Make sure they go to suitable homes, not homes that have not done the research on hamsters. You need to screen potential owners.

You will LOSE alot more money in breeding hamsters than you will make from it.

Just so you know.
