Yes,female hamsters do go through heat.Heat occurs once every 3 or 4 days and lasts for one day.During heat a female emits a strong odor and can't be handled unless you are going to breed her.If you do handle her you will need to wash your hand and clothes because they will smell really bad.Another way to tell if a female is in heat is to take your finger and stroke her from her head towards her tail.If she is in heat she will sort of crouch with her tail in the air and freeze.

Why won't my dwarf hamsters breed. I have three dwarf hamsters I have 1 male and 2 females I have had them for a while and they will not breed Do they have to be a certain age?

Hamster breeding takes alot of patience! First of all, you shoul have one male and one female in each cage because the the male won't get confused as to wich he should choose and the females won't fight over it. Often times hamsters will only try to breed in complete silence and complete darkness, and the male is often killed in the breeding. Then the female must carry the babies for 18-21 days, they will then come out usally extremly fragil and hairless until the age 3 weeks old. With any threat to her babies the mother hamster will hide them, and if stressed she will try to eat them, also if the father becomes angry he will kill them so keep the father in a different cage!! Baby hamsters take 10 as much care as a grown hamsters so make sure you read up and do some research before making the decision to breed!

How much do female hamsters cost at Petsmart?

Its depends what breed or kind of hamster you are thinking to purchase. But female hamsters usually cost around 10$, 20$ at the most. I bought a hamster back in January- He is a male, and he was 22$. But female hamsters cost much less of what i heard.


Do you have to buy the male and the female hamsters at the same to have babeis time?

Obviously, you need both sexes to breed and have babies. Keep the male and female separate after breeding.


Should you keep your male and female hamsters together in the same cage?

If you do they'll breed. Be ready to deal with that, or keep them separated.
