Female hamsters like to bark, bite the cage, and twist their bodies when courting. They will secrete milky white liquid and their bodies will become very smelly.

After a female hamster goes into heat, her temper will become very irritable and her activity level will gradually increase. When you hold the female hamster on your hand, you will find that the female hamster's chest is bulging.

When a female hamster appears courting, she can be put into a mating cage. After the male and female hamsters become familiar with each other, they can mate. To avoid fighting between them, they need to be separated in time after breeding is completed so that the female hamster can give birth smoothly.

What to do after a female hamster goes into heat?

1. You can leave the hamster alone when it is in heat. Just pay attention to changing the bedding material frequently and keeping the cage clean.

2. Failure to mate after estrus will not cause too much physical harm to hamsters. They can solve physiological problems by themselves. Letting female hamsters mate can be harmful because giving birth to babies will shorten their lifespan.
