Please do not breed hamsters without sufficient genetics & breeding knowledge. Please treat every life with love and respect
The babies are 4 weeks old now!
All of them are big fluffballs!
Today I will separate them by gender
Let’s weigh them first
How much do they weigh at 4 weeks old?
Let’s find out!
Each of them will get a treat afterwards
How many males and females are there?
The only boy in the family...
He will live on his own now
The baby girls are getting tired...
I will keep a rex girl this time
Some may want to ask...
Why don’t they fight?
Should they be separated now?
Not yet
Hamster babies won’t be fully weaned until 3-4 weeks old…
Separating them too early is not good
The most correct approach is...
Separate females and males from week 3-4
But...
If there is serious fighting from week 4...
Separate the aggressive one immediately
Babies can go to new homes from week 6 - 7
All of them will be separated after week 8
There are more and more hamster owners around
More and more care information available
However...
Every hamster is different
There isn’t a rule that works for all hamsters
The best way is to keep learning and improving...
Every hamster is unique and cute
Just try your best...
To treat them well
