1, A hamster’s lifespan is generally only two years, but with good care, a hamster can live to three years old about. In fact, hamsters have the ability to reproduce about a month after they are born, but because the hamsters at the age of 1 month are not fully developed, breeding at this time is likely to cause certain harm to the development of body organs and physical health, so hamsters are born in 2.5-3 months. Mating at age is more appropriate. Hamsters will come into heat about a month and a half after birth. If the owner is ready to raise multiple hamsters, he can keep the female hamster and the male hamster in a cage when the hamster is three months old.
2. Hamsters are most suitable for mating between 3 months and one year old, but try not to let them breed after the hamster is one year old, because the hamster is born after one year old. Entering the old age, the hamster’s body will gradually degenerate at this time. Continued breeding will cause great harm to the body of the female hamster. The female hamster may also suffer from miscarriage and dystocia because of being too old. Hamster babies born to older female hamsters may also be born with birth defects. Therefore, for the sake of the health of the mother hamster and the baby hamster, it is necessary to prevent the mother hamster from continuing to breed after entering the old age. If the female hamster is pregnant, it should also be kept separately from the male hamster in time.
3. Male hamsters can mate at any time when they are in heat, while female hamsters are basically four days old. Ovulation once, and estrus is about once every four days. If the female hamster is kept together with the male hamster after pregnancy, it will not only affect the production and lactation of the female hamster, but also may cause the female hamster to become pregnant after giving birth, so frequently Fertility will cause excessive physical damage to the female hamster, and it is likely to shorten the lifespan of the female hamster, and in this case, the baby born from the female hamster may also be underdeveloped or born prematurely due to malnutrition. .
The gestation period of a female hamster is generally 16-21 days, and the number of pups per female hamster is about 2-14, but the body of each hamster is about 2-14. The quality of the hamster is different, so the pregnancy time and the number of cubs will be different. The owner can estimate the birth date of the female hamster according to the time when the hamster is in the cage, and make relevant preparations. If you have any other questions, you can also consult your veterinarian.
