I want to put another hamster in the cage with the one i have
the same kind.
I read on a website and it said you cant
but others told me they fight for a day then get along
Answers:
There are certain breeds that will never, ever get along, and certain breeds that will.
You should NEVER put two Syrian hamsters together! They are territorial, to the point of fighting to the death over their territory!
Dwarf hamsters, however, are known for their ability to get along with one another, be it a same sex couple from the same litter or not. Though with ANY animal grouping that hasn't been done before, you need to be there to supervise the entire time -- and you should make SURE they are the same sex, or you'll be having more on your plate than just two fighting hamsters! Dwarf hamsters still have their occasional squabbles, but it will be nothing compared to the dangerous, injury causing, and sometimes fatal fighting that can happen between Syrian hamsters.
So, save yourself heartache and worry, if you have two Syrian hamsters, DON'T put them together. If you have two Dwarf hamsters, feel free to try.
Note: You also CANNOT put a Dwarf with a Syrian. Dwarf hamsters cannot deal well with adjusting to the solitary habits of a Syrian, and may turn out to be the agressor in this situation. Dwarf + Syrian = Bad. Syrian + Syrian = Bad.
Dwarf +_Dwarf = Good!
Common Syrian hamsters: Teddy Bear, Alien, Golden, Fancy, Standard
Well thats kind of touch and go it really depends on the age of the animals. If the one is older then the other then you have a problem. When one is older even by a couple of months then there is sinority there along with strength and wisdom. The younger of the two is in for a fight and possably a really good beating.
if you introduce them properly w/a little family counseling,they;ll adjust to the dysfunction more smoothly
