Hamsters

1. Can I put two hamsters together?

This will depend on the characteristics of the hamsters. Syrian hamsters tend to be solitary animal – they like to be alone. While dwarf and roboroskis are colony animals – they can live in groups. But if they do fight, it is important to separate them immediately. Fight wounds can lead to serious infections and deaths.

You should also separate male and female hamsters. Hamsters are prolific breeders and you don’t want to have unwanted pregnancy and abandoned hamsters.
