Syrian hamsters
Older one is the father of the newer one
The newer is the son
The newer one/son is 4 weeks old now
Can I put them in the same cage?
If so, is now ok or should I what a little longer to?
If I wait any longer how long should it be?

I'd say yes, but the only way to find out is if you try. I have 2 hamsters and i thought that I could put them in the same cage, but the older hamster beat the crap out of the little guy. So I had to buy another cage. And since then we've tried to put the younger hamster with theolder one, he still trys to hurt him. Its becasue the older hamster has had the cage to him self for so long. that he is seeing the younger hamster as an invader upon his terriotry so he will fight him until he leaves or he dies. so he can reclaim his space. So I would recommend keeping them seperate or the younger one will more than likely be killed.

Nooo! they're going to honestly strive against! As for breeding, placed on some gloves and after letting Male Hammy settle a lengthy time period, try putting them at the same time. If a strive against starts to interrupt out, at cutting-edge separate them!

NO.... syrians are to be KEPT APART!!!
if you put them togehter even though their relative then they'll kill each other... plus male hamsters are more terrotorial than females...
buy a seperate cage for the baby..

I had the same thing. It is sort of a territory thing. You can only put them in the same cage if they are brothers or sisters and have been together since birth.

yes! hamsters are solitary little critters and already have enough trouble breeding.

males of any kind are territorial so they will fight til their death just to claim that it is their cage.
good luck
