Steel cage death match. Seriously, are you certain they can't share the same space? Many years ago I bought two gerbils separately and they got along fine. Also make sure you don't have one male and one female or you can guess what you'll end up with.

You need to seperate these two immediately.
You can make a temporary cage out of a plastic storage bin. Some people even use them as permanent homes (with additions, like a house & wheels).
In the future, be sure to research a bit more before getting a pet. You should have known that syrian hamsters are too territorial to share a cage. (And you should definitely have been made aware of this when you got them.)

I suggest you either go to the pet store as soon as possible and get another cage, or return one hamster.
Better safe that sorry! Im sure that the pet store will understand your situation if you try to return one.
Edit: Why can't you return it?
This is a good case of "you should have researched before you purchased an animal"

Well when u bought them were they in the same cage.If not,then they won't get along until they get to know each other.Try putting one in the cage on one side and the other on the pother side.And watch what happens.

why did you get 2 hamsters if you cannot provide adequate caging???
either they will kill each other or breed and then kill each other...
take one to a pet store or return one.. you are not prepared for ownership of 2

Of course you can return him. Even return them both if you can't provide safety for them, and if you can't afford the necessaries. If they don't give you your money back, that's your problem. Just give them back and lose the money.
