breeding hamsters is not a fun. this is not profitable.the time and cost involved for the required equipments is more than the expected estimation.it can be a service to the species but not a profit. most of the time it goes wrong. some extra cash must be invested inthis concern, but the profit is less than amount invested.

There is little profit in hamster breeding. By the time you pay for the food and bedding in their cage, this costs about the same almost as your going to get for the hamsters. Hamsters now days sell for about 6.00 a piece. The stores have them go on sale all the time because they can't sell them.

My children were interested in having a hamster as a pet. As I have several children, we had several hamsters. We thought they were all males. They weren't. We had several litters of baby hamsters. The first few went to friends. The local pet store took the rest, free of charge. We never saw a profit.

If you allow your hamster to breed, you will most likely end up with an abundance of baby hamsters but without any profit. Hamsters are solitary animals, and like to be alone. When you have a litter of babies crowding a mother hamster, the mother has been known to eat her young.

Unless you can find a way to sell them to pet stores, no. Hamsters are over bred and they often end up neglected and dead or overrun in petstores and humane societies. A lot of people purchase hamsters not knowing much about them and end up with babies and most give them away for free. You can find them everywhere.
