It is generally not recommended to house hamsters from different litters together as they can be territorial and may fight. It is best to keep hamsters separate to prevent any potential harm or stress.

Can two female hamsters live in the same cage?

It is generally not recommended to house two female hamsters together as they may fight and become aggressive towards each other, especially as they reach sexual maturity. It is safer to keep them in separate cages to prevent potential injuries.


Can female hamsters live together and not fight?

Female hamsters can often live together peacefully if they are introduced at a young age and if they have enough space, hideouts, and resources to prevent competition. However, there is still a risk of them fighting, so it's important to monitor their interactions closely and be prepared to separate them if needed.


Can you keep two Syrian hamsters in the same room in separate cages?

No it's not. Syrian hamsters are very territorial and need to live alone. If they are kept in a cage together they will fight. As they are relatives they can live together in the same cage for up to 5 weeks. At this age the puppies can get pregnant so must live separately to avoid this. At 5 weeks old they must be split. If you want to keep more than one hamster its best to keep another breed as Syrian hamsters are the only breed that must live alone.

Can you put 2 male siberin hamsters in the same cage?

Yess you can put 2 of the same sex together - in fact they prefer to live together and are normally sold in pairs :) This is assuming they are from the same litter and have been raised together. Mixing unrelated hamsters, is difficult and in many cases impossible, especially where two males are involved.


Can to male hamsters live together?

I'd advise against it unless they ar dwarf hamsters. When my family had two male Syrian hamsters, from the same litter, as you've specified, the results were disastrous. They frequently faught, and one day we came home to find one dead with several bites around his neck. In my experience, two male hamsters from the same litter will find a way to make sure that they don't live together. Although dwarf hamsters male and female will live together of the same gender. I have twoo male Russian dwarf hamsters that live together peacefully.

Could you let a mother hamster live with one of her babies?

You should not let hamsters live together. Syrian hamsters are solitary creatures, though, while dwarfs are more social. You could let them live together, though, if they are of the same gender and preferably, of the dwarf variety. Though, at one time, I had two male, Syrian hamsters, who were brothers, living in the same cage, and they never fought.
