Hamsters are sexually mature at about 5-7 weeks. Their usual gestation period is 15- 16 days. There are normally about 5-12 pups in each litter.

At how many weeks do Syrian Hamsters become sexually mature?

As soon as they are mature enough to be weaned off of their mothers milk they are mature enough to be sexually mature. At about 21 days old a Syrian hamster can begin having other babies. So if you have a cage full of hamsters that would be the time to separate them into their own cages.
