Kepp them with their mother for 5-6 weeks of course and then I would really try to give them away to individuals. I know someone who works in a petshop and said they only keep them around for so long since they get so many of them, and end up feeding the left over ones to snakes and such for their own sick entertainment. Little kids, like 3 and up love hamsters. They aren't near as much work as dogs so parents usually don't mind them either.

once you're preserving the male in with the female, take him out. danger is she had toddlers and ate them by way of being too youthful to have them interior the 1st place and additionally rigidity from the male if became together with her on the time, and there's a superb danger that the male ate them. If there at the instant are not any toddlers then she could be waiting to mate lower back genuine away, generic male.

5 weeks let them be with mom then sell them or give them away to people, or keep them if anthing, when they get older seperate males from females or you will have some dead hamsters
