Get a separate cage and let them stay away from each other for a while introduce them slowly.

Hello, I have two robo hamsters that are similar. I had to separate mine. I had three males. I lost one due to them beating each other up. They both have their own space and are very happy now. I think two females would be the same. I think they would be territorial also and not want the other there. Keep an eye on them if one starts hurting the other I would separate them. Dwarf hamsters are very mean. I bought two at one time and took them back because they were biters and I sure couldn't handle that.My robos nip but not as hard. Try putting toys in for them like the wheels and chews like wood to keep them busy first. See if that will distract them to keep them busy.I found use of the deterent on the petwebsite.

Like some people have already reported, hamsters have a tendency to combat to the dying. Being the two male, Bubbles is probable attempting to dominate Squeak, making out he's the boss and HE could get each little thing first. Squeak ovciously disagrees, so a combat starts. it would be agood thought to Get a seperate cage and place them bothe togetehr so as that they could work together, yet all them hamsters i've got had seem to prefer to be on my own, as long as they're dealt with nicely via you.

Hamsters tend to be solitary creatures and should be kept seperate unless you're breeding them, or they are a same sex pair that has been together since they were babies (not necessarily the same litter, but born about the same time and introduced young).
The first one believes that the entire cage is her territory and is just trying to protect it from the other. It's not her fault. She's not being mean for the sake of it, but trying to protect what is hers. You can't explain to her that she has to share. It's not going to happen. I suggest getting a second cage or taking one back.
Also, what you're seeing is common dominance behavior. The first one is simply asserting dominance.

Seperate them now.Either the first hamster will start to eat at the second hamster or it will bug the second hamster till it dies.

Maybe getting a male might make a differance or seperate their condo and or take one back if you can. The only problem there is...what if you get another bully. Good Luck.

you need to introduce them in neutral territory! which means in neither cage, but if you only have one, hopefully its a aquarium? divide it with plexiglass with holes drilled in it(so they can smell each other), i can not guarantee this will work seeing as hamsters are solitary animals, good luck!

I think that you should seerate them and\or then (if the store has this policy) bring the bully back and get another one.
