What common mating method is used with hamsters?
Two methods are commonly used when mating hamsters: individual mating and colony mating. In individual
mating of hamsters, the female should always be placed in the male's cage; this will usually result in less fighting.
After mating, the male will rest for a few moments, clean himself, and then pursue the female again. They may
mate several times in a 15- to 20-minute period. When the female is satisfied, she will turn on the male and bite
him. At this time, the female should be removed from the male's cage and placed back in her cage.
