Agreed.

I also admit that I bred my hamsters recklessly even though I did research and had 2 extra cages I didnt know there genetic background
Why did you breed them in the first place??

I don't agree with any kind of reckless breeding. And those who just mate their pets for whatever reasons don't deserve any title but moron. Breeders are people who do wonderful things to help keep a certain breed going.
