I would advise that you don't do that. Hamsters are very territorial and will fight to the death...I've seen it happen. Mostly it's two male hamsters that do that

Eek! Don't do this! In the wild, hamsters live in solitude, and they only seek out other hamsters when it's time to mate (and even then, they're together for a very, very short period of time). Under no circumstances should you mix hamsters together- they actually prefer to live on their own.
But of course, you're probably wondering why the pet stores keep dozens of hamsters in a same tank, or cage. This is because the hamsters in pet stores are typically 2-3 weeks old- hardly old enough to reach puberty. Hamsters don't mind being around other hamsters at that age. In most cases, all hamsters are sold before they even approach young adulthood.
At 4 weeks of age and above, however, hamsters will not only attack any hamsters you put near them, but they'll also eat them.

Hamsters tend to be solitary animals, although it depends on the type of hamster if it is a Syrian/Teddy bear hamster then they definitely have to be kept separately. If it is one of the smaller/dwarf breeds of hamster such as Russian or Roborovski, then they can be kept together but it is best to get them from the same litter. You should also make sure you are not mixing a male and a female otherwise you will get babies!! If the hamsters are fighting then they definitely should not be kept together.

Simple, put them in seperate cages. They will fight and may cause a bad injury such as bleeding or death....

only if they are the same breed, but it is better to have separate cages for each, they will really f each other up.
