How Do Hamsters Reproduce? A Detailed Explanation of the Breeding Method and the Whole Process
How do hamsters reproduce? Hamsters have very short lifespans, averaging around 2 years. Generally, hamsters have reproductive capacity from 40 days old, but female hamsters suitable for breeding need to be 3-4 months old. Please also do not breed hamsters after they are 1 year old. When a male and a female are kept together, they will show mating behavior before long, but not every mating results in pregnancy. When the male is in heat, his testicles enlarge, and when the female is ready to mate, she raises her tail and stays still; after the male sniffs the female's rear, mating begins. <p style="text-align: center;"></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">1. Long-term cohabitation method</p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">Also called the frequent breeding method. This method is relatively simple in management and can reduce the chance of disease transmission. One male is housed together with 1 female. Within a few hours after the female gives birth, she can mate and conceive again. Under normal circumstances, each female can produce 1 litter per month. This makes full use of the hamster's breeding capacity (especially the female's postpartum estrus). Because the female bears the heavy burden of being pregnant while nursing, attention should be paid to strengthening nutrition.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">2. Regular cohabitation method</p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">Also called the non-frequent breeding method. One male and 6 females are organized into one breeding unit. Each week, 1 female is placed into the male's cage, that is, the male is made to cohabit with 1 female on a weekly schedule, and at the same time the pregnant female is removed and placed in a separate cage for giving birth, nursing, and weaning, and so on. Each female's production cycle is 42 days, longer than in the long-term cohabitation method. But it facilitates planned supply and production, and the nursing pups receive sufficient nutrition, so the pups develop well; at weaning, the average body weight is 1-2 g heavier than with the previous method. At this time, the reproductive capacity of the breeding hamsters should be checked frequently, and breeding hamsters with low conception capacity should be culled promptly and new breeding stock added.</p>
