Dwaf hamsters are tiny. If you are using rats, even pups it's going to take months to raise the hamsters up to size, and like stated, a good amount of their wight is fur. They also have tiny litters. Usally 4 or less babies per litter. I have raise hamsters before and they are nasy. You can't keep them together in groups or even m/f for long. Once the babies come(or even before)mamma will turn on the male. They are solitery animals. I had on hamster that if you didn't get the male out of her cage after she got pregnet she would kill the make.
