I use to breed Syrian hamsters on and off for a goodeight-nine years. I stopped two years ago after picking up new stock, as well as Campbell's Dwarves, and things not going well. Some illness struck.
Two years later, a new house and new hamsters and we have success! My Campbell's dwarf pair had babies roughly 32 days after I got them. Their names are Aaron and Bella. Aaron is a blue beige and Bella is a blue mottled. I have to admit, these have to be the sweetest hamsters I have had in a LONG time, and the sweetest dwarves I have ever had.
Mommy Bella is an amazing mom. She hadseven babies September 12th. Actually, she had two that morning, six by the time I went tobed that night and seven the next morning.Ten days later all seven are still alive and very fiesty. I have been handling them forfive days now and the last time I checked,two days ago, there where three girls and four boys. There are four blue beige, two blue, and one that looked blue but now has beige "trimming" and a creamy face so it is a mystery coler at the moment.
I have been in contact with a person who got two "female" Campbell's that turned out to be a pair and two turned to twenty-seven. I am hoping to meet up with her soon and get a pair or more to pair up with babies from my current litter.
I am very excited. I love my rabbits but I havehad and bred hamsterslongthan I have hadrabbits and I truely enjoy them. I hate their short life-spans but that is another thing.
Bella and Aaron shortly after I brought them home:
Nest of babies - two days old:
Nest of babies - four days:
I will get pictures of them today. They are soooo cute! They are not staying in the nest and their eyes are opening. Today, each time I picked one up they made this "GAAAAHHHH" noise at me the whole time. When I put them back they did the same to their parents. Bella was having to pull them back to the nest by their back feet because they where trying to bite her. it's a defense thing, I suppose.
