gooood boy, it is better to do so de. else if they breed out flow control then u pening lo hehe. but if u manage to find a petshop who is willing to trade in all ur offspring then u can somore earn money tat way. but provided ur offspring have to be good blood line.

Here is my boys [back view]...


This is Toby... can help me see got eyering or not?

lol,u bully me,im good girl

Konbawa,

Why are you encouraging people to breed and sell to petshops for income? Why are we even raring hamsters in the first place here? Is it to make profit from breeding them? No right?

We rare them it is because of the love we have for them. What you are suggesting here is totally wrong for this forum and unethical. Also, breeding is very very bad for female's health and it can shorten their lifespan and it will be very stressful for them.

With what you have written above here, this will mislead newbie hamster owners to think that what you said is the "correct thing" to do and they will not separate their hamster for good cause they don't need to worry about having lots of pups cause they can sell them for money and keep their hamster s together. With this, our effort of giving correct info is in vain.

One more thing - Do you think petshops will care if the hamster offsprings are of good bloodline? Have you even seen the hamsters that are sold in the petshops? They only care about selling them only.

Can't really see clearly. It would be easier if you have a close up pic with macro mode. But I think I saw a flesh color ring but not 100% sure.

ops sorry to all , i din really mean t it. just that i was like sharing what i know, i din really meant tat..anyhow sorry, blurjoey was right.

Just hope everyone understand the ethic of 'breeding' for the good of the innocence animals. There's lots of problems if we accidentally breed them although we as humans don't need to experience the consequences but the small animals. That's why we keep emphasize and hope we can make things better for our animals.

you have a very good point there Sangels-san...breeding any species of pets without proper planning, knowledge and solely for PROFIT MAKING is VERY VERY WRONG and i'm totally AGAINST IT.

I homebreed syrian hamsters now, because i LOVE to take care of them very much...watching the babies grow very fast and witnessing their development makes me feel like witnessing a miracle...selling them actually makers me wonder if i'm a bad person who manipulate the circle of nature, but i try my best to provide the best for them, including finding them a worthy owner.

For all pet-owners, LOVE YOU PETS, DONT JUST OWN THEM ~!

mochi can i noe wat is eyering?

Eyering is a ring around the eye. If you see sable or mink syrians, you can see there is eyering around their eyes. Looks like they are wearing a mask like Zorro.

eventhough i have like 4 different WW breed,but i wouldnt go for breeding because to me,its like torturing them & being not responsible owner.

bump for my question~~~

i think until the pups have open eyes..then mummy will not eat the pups.

n u can touch the baby if the baby fur fully grown..but not for a long time..

or if u afraid..u can scoop the baby n mummy in temporary box..do ur cleaning as usual..but put some old bedding<choose bedding where mum nurse the pups often> in the cage..then put the baby first..n folow by mom.

does any1 have exmaple hamham pic that have eyering? i kinda curious to see it. (1st time heard )

Here you go:
http://www.petwebsite.com/hamsters/sable_syrian_hamster.htm

Look at the sables. All have cream colored eye ring.

Eye rings only on sables & minks. Other not sure as we don't have a lot of different syrian colors.

Don't worry, I think they are smart enough to differentiate what is food and what is not.

before u really can give ur hamster a very good life with good housing, good food. good nutrition. pls do not breed. once the mum is pregnant. its nutrition in her body will drop to the bottom. are u able to give her everything double dose?

are u able to get them a good home? or simply sale them off. when they are out from ur hand doesn't means its end of story, did u think about how will they be in the 2 yrs time? stuck in a small carrier in someone hand? keep breed like no tomorrow for the 2 yrs? their future life is on ur hand. think of it.

does mealworms really help hamster get chubby?

toph and toby, can see they are getting long, but not really growing sideways...

Mealworms is mainly for the protein content. You want them to grow sideways? Feed more fresh vegetables and smoothie.

If you're gerli about handling mealworms, you can feed your hammies soft white tofu instead.
