How do I breed Siberian dwarf hamsters?
BreedingPlace a male and a female dwarf hamster together in a cage when they are ready to breed. Typically, the dwarf hamster breeds need to be between two and three months old before they are ready to produce young, but Roborovski dwarf hamsters may need to be four months old before they are ready to breed. Mating usually takes place within a few days, as a female comes into heat about once every four days.CareFeed the female foods that are high in protein to give her strength during her pregnancy. Cheese, oats and peanut butter can all serve this purpose. Give her plenty of bedding to use as nesting material, and make sure that she has plenty of water.TimingWatch for pups to appear between 18 to 30 days after a successful mating. When the female is close to giving birth, she will chase the male away.
