they will prefer their own cage as the cage got their familiar smell, their favourite corner etc... my hamster even act weird after i change their bedding. they just feel uneasy as their familiar smell gone.

You will probably want to seperate them. They deffinatly will fight with each other. I am 29, and have had hamsters ever since I can remember. I remember when I was about 5 and the mom hamster killed all of her babies because the father was near them, and when I was about 9 I had hamsters kill each other. I woke up to find them both dead in the cage, and those were two males as well.
I hope this helps you out. Have a good night!

They would probably feel more secure in their own cages than if you moved them around often, but once in a while if you temporarily changed their cages around for a few days, it might be okay so they won't get bored. Also, if the two brothers start fighting, put them in separate cages because hamsters are solitary creatures.

They all need seperate cages or they will fight. Hamsters are solitary creatures. But putting them in cage for a few minutes while you clean the other cages is probably fine.

I would keep them in the cages you have them in. I have four hamsters also. I have a female in one cages and I have three males in the other cage. They all get along, fight a little once in a while, just gotta keep an eye on them.

assuming they are syrians they will all eventually need separate homes. around 4 months the brothers will start fighting & may eventually kill each other. syrians are loners. if u r talking about moving things around inside the cage, thats fine, but do leave a little of their old bedding so they feel comfortable.

How old are thebrothers. You might want to save up for a new cage because they might get territorial and could end up hurting each other.

depends on how many babies you want, the brothers will have no problem mating with the mom... they have no morals. The pet store buys babies for a few bucks a piece.
