We may not have a lot of literature on hamsters, but this is one topic that we do have literature from a reputable source. I would encourage you to read Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:31:13 GMT KS http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13752 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13752 Great! I will take dad out in about a week before the due date then. That's what I do with the mice. My girls, especially the one I'll be breeding, are very Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:30:51 GMT DogLover_4 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13751 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13751 This may NOT apply, I don't know, I've only ever bred rats... But, when I did, I always bred two at the same time so there would be "back up" in case something Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:08:39 GMT SilvrStar7@... http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13750 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13750 I doubt you'll be able to put the non-pregnant female back in with the pregnant one. They get very territorial once they've bred -- usually.

I just joined and have a question. I have three campbells hammies, a male and two females. I'm pairing the male and one of the girls tomorrow.

I don't think this statement is generalizeable to the species, and we know most hamster books (like websites) contain plenty of falsehoods. Those of us Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:36:38 GMT SilvrStar7@... http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13747 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13747 I second this! I've had many successful male duos and trios, but not so much with the females. Although right now I own probably the sweetest female hamster Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:41:33 GMT kmbartek88 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13746 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13746 Females are generally more aggressive toward each other than males. I read in a book that this could be due to going into heat. I have kept many dwarf females Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:07:59 GMT Kim http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13745 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13745 If was not something in their environment, maybe it was something genetic. Or something they had eaten or were exposed to in their previous environment.

First, Syrians (the regular sized hamsters) are solitary. If you get a couple of them, make sure you put them in separate cages and Sat, 24 Oct 2009 23:56:11 GMT sparky4ta http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13743 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13743 It's sad that they don't seem happy. I have found that the larger hamsters (syrian) are more social with people. Also, hamsters are more solitary creatures.

Big pet store chain hammies come from mills, so they have no socialization. If they weren't raised together, just came in Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:02:29 GMT nsrmom http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13741 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dwarf-Hamster/message/13741 Hi all.
