what do they do when thier in heat???
2007-02-19 03:50:09 · update #1
Female hamsters do not have menstrual cycles (periods) the way that humans do.
A female hamster will go into heat every 4-5 days. Heat cycles correlate to ovulation though a female will go into heat a few hours before she ovulates. A female in heat will have one, two or all of the following: a white, milky vaginal discharge, a very musky smell and/or will assume the "freeze" posture when stroked on the back or introduced to a male. In the "freeze" posture, the female will lower her body, stare forward and raise her tail and back end to allow for the best mount.

It is the period when the female hamster is ready to mate.
