There are many benefits to a wire cage. Wire allows for good ventilation and may keep moisture from building up too quickly in the bedding.

To mate the hamsters place the male and female Syrian in a neutral space – such as a cardboard box- or in the male’s cage. NEVER put the male in the female’s cage – she will attack him, and possibly cause serious injury. If the female is “standing” leave them together for about 20 minutes.
