I just went to the store and bought two winter white female hamsters (they were in the same cage - so there were no fighting issues). I want to get 2 chinese dwarf hamsters too. I want to know from a RELIABLE source if this is OK because I don't want to have to return them. I'd like to keep all 4 of them in a large cage. Is that possible without any fighting/killing?
Answers:
I have two female dwarf hamsters, from the same litter. We adopted them both from our animal shelter. After a hamster is about 10 weeks old, they will start to fight any other hamsters that are in the same cage. ALL hamsters aren't socail. When we had brought them home, they fine for the first few days, but, then, they started to fight! We came home one day (about a month after adopting them), to one of them with a bloody eye! Luckily, she was ok. But, we quickly seperated them, and, that's where they are now. Getting 2 more dwarf hamsters, will only make it harder. Watch the two dwarf hamsters that you just got. If you notice ANY fighting, please, remove one and put her in a seperate cage. See, if you get 2 more, and they start to fight, will be cleaning 4 CAGES every week! It will be A LOT better, and you will be saving money, and time, if you just keep the two that you have now! I hope that this changes your mind a little bit! Thanks, and good luck with the two dwarfs!,
~ Future Vet I have 2 male dwarf hamsters and they get along fine. One of them gives the other one a nip or two occaisonally though.
I don't think that you should put 2 separate breeds together. I think that it would be like putting in a Syrian Hamster with a Dwawrf hamster. Chinese Dwarf hamsters are different than Winter Whites. You can buy a separate cage for the Chinese Dwarfs to share if you do get a pair.
Also, I don't recommend buying from a pet store. It is better to adopt because pet store animals tend to be not well cared for. Don't worry though, my 2 males came from there too!
