My buddy and I are breeding hamsters for food, instead of mice or rats. Here are our reasons why:
1.) Mice are too much of a pain (I've tried them...)
2.) Rat babies are too big for leopard geckos
3.) Rats are too big to house at the moment
4.) Rats are awesome pets...lol
5.) Hamsters have the perfect sized babies for the leos, and have a good fat content to them. Plus...they are just born evil (I'm j/k, nothing is born evil...but they sure do like to bite and eat each other...).
We got our first litter yesterday from one of our females. 12 babies. We are taking 4 for the leos, and growing the rest a bit more for Xander and Aidan. Now we are just waiting for our other female to pop. Yay!
