Well, if she is now exactly 3 months old, wait about another week, just to be sure she is at sexual maturity. If you breed her before sexual maturity, the babies might not survive, or they will have problems, or she may refuse to take care of them. Anyway, most males are not interested until they are 4 months old.
If you want anymore info or help about breeding, just email me. We bred our hamsters here at my house, and so if you have questions or need help just send me an email. I could give you tons of info right now, but it might take a while, so I will if i have to if I get an email.
if you dont know you shouldnt be breeding! theres far too many homeless animals already for people to be breeding more just for the hell of it! the only acceptable reason to breed animals is to improve the quality of animal but if you dont know what youre doing youre obviously not guna be improving them!
breeding an animal isn’t just will-nilly easy. Dont just breed ur poor hammy just to say: "Haha look how cute the babies are!!" Breeding takes time & patience. Ur hammy is exactly old enough to breed, i swear. it doesn’t seem that old, but remember they only live 3 years. Anyhow, look into breeding a little more. the female needs to be properly introduced to the male. i am sure u r very responsible. good luck!!!!
