hamster breeding

But how long does it take to get to 80?

Depends on what you feed them. I might track this guy till he gets to 80.

roughly 3-4 months is what the websites say

ah... is this why they arn't overly common as feeder cultures? Seems like a long time.

It's about the same for most asfs get to 50 faster but then take forever to get bigger. I like the growth rates on hamsters. There are a few issues like only being able to run 1.1s and not able to have as many in a holder.

well at the same time i just bought a 4.5 month female from a local pet store here and she's at 145

Good info, thanks

If you want something big right away grab some Flemish giants. Babies are out at 55 grams

my goodness those things are massive.

lol, it's always a balance of production and the room needed to keep the adults. Human pinkies are about the right size for a large snake but the maintainence of the colony is insane
