Female rats and mice can store sperm and therefore give birth to more litters without the presence of a male. Are rabbits the same?

Yes; rabbits and hares can store sperm for up to six months after mating.

can syrian hamsters do this too? they are classed as rodents like mice and rats??? our syrian has had no contact with our other males at all! they all have separate cages and separate balls to play in, unless one has escaped and ejaculated through the bars into her (sorry tmi) i have no idea how she could be pregnant, we split the babies M & F at 4 weeks old they are now 10 weeks old, so 6 weeks without male interaction, can a female hold to sperm from before we split them, or could she have spontanously concieved without a male? and ideas
