just googled it and the first one on the list said

"The average litter size for a Syrian hamster is 8 but they can have up to 26 babies although this is extremely rare."

Goodluck with them all. Twenty six is some giving birth.

Crikey!!!! How is she going to feed that lot!!!! :blink:

I have a friend who breeds small animals for Pets At Home - she would probably be able to help you as she can never breed enough to satisfy the demand at the moment. I will PM you her name and number :thumbsup:
