Maybe a rat? Or young musang? And yes, a rat can kill a hamster.

rat or young musang ....

i juz plan to put my hammies house inside my room 2day , but , it will be never happended again

Should be careful next time. Accidents do happen, so better be safe than sorry, always take precaution.

RIP to ur hams.........

Btw, I just bought another 2 winters. Previosly i hv to males, now to females, but separated cage.....
HOw to clean them, got smell lah........
I notice that male tends to be more active, more fierce, bite more, as the female is tamer.....normal ?
Later try to put them together, 1male 1 female in one cage, and get baby hammies!!!
How long should the babies been separated with their mum? 7weeks?

Every hamster has their own attitude. Not all are tame. It just so happen your males are aggressive. This is due to bad upbringing when they were younger. All my winter white hamsters are very gentle, never bite at all. Normally seperate from mom at 6 weeks. 7 weeks, you may see the male pups start to hump their mom hahaah....


Russian Campbell! Looks like an agouti.

Wow, so many babies. Your russian campbell very productive. Are there 10 babies?

wah... urs drawf can produce so many babies...

mine just gave birth to 5 oni...

btw... im quite interested to knw the maximum babies tat u guys have at 1 time are how many aR??? (drawf)

10? or more than 10?

For Syrians, it's normal to have 10 or more... but the best would be 6 to 8 babies since they get more milk.

For Dwarfs, normally 6 to 8 is an average litter size.... but I prefer 4 to 6 babies since the mom can really take care and nurse well. The problem with big litters is that the babies tend to not get enough milk and since hamsters are dedicated moms, it can cause the female to become skinny from nursing so many.

how come my syrians only had 4babies for her first batch and 5 babies for her second batch??.... so little... i dont dare let her have 3rd batch.... afraid she is too old... she is now 1yr plus almost 2yrs old adi....

my housemate's syrians also only had 4babies for his hamster's first batch....

Average litter is around 6... less is good mah, more milk for the babies. I have seen my friend's Syrian hamster have 10 to 13 babies. Anyway, never breed a hamster that is more than 1 year old... a danger to both mom and babies' lives.

its 15 total...but the other six death...so left 9 that active..
my chubby give birth bout 10 for average for every batch...

is syrian or drawf???

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Why do you want to breed?

how many inches should a 3 mths old syrian is?

i read thru this thread, saying that syrians are territorial hams, but when i go the pet shops. all the syrians are cage together, mayb 10 of them. I ask the SA whether can cage them together, they say can, will not fight, bla bla bla.........

Honestly can or not??

yeah yeah, mine too. They like to keep one leg out of the cage also, really cute.
