The girl and him have been fighting for some time now. And last night they got in a huge fight and he hurt her eyes theres blood around them and she hurt his feet and his "balls."
I found him this morning on a wooden bed thing (on the top of it) with blood around him. Then I picked him up and he kept bleeding. I put him back in his wooden bed and he kept bleeding. he wont stop, what should I do? Will he bleed to death? I already seperated the hamsters.

Oh and they are siberian hamsters from Petco that I bought less than a month ago.

I thought it was very rude of you to just assume that I didn't take notice to my hamsters. They were fighting late at night after I had gone to bed after 2 am, and I got up around 8 o clock and to find what had happened. When I mentioned in the first sentence that they had been fighting, I didn't mean anything like what had happened in this situation. They would just get in conflict with each other because the male would bug the female, and she wouldn't like it so she would keep him away and if he didn't go away she would chase him til he left, I would blow on them or seperate them at night time with different wheels so they could ecersize. I did take him to this lady who is a retired vet and has many hamsters, rats, and mice now. I in no way did anything cruel to my animals. The pet store I bought them from said to put them together, and they'll have babies. I did, and this is what happened. The boy is fine, and so is the girl. I have them separated them.

My vet does treat hamsters. The bleeding wound can be cleaned and closed. If you can't afford or don't want to treat him, at least have them put him to sleep so he doesn't suffer. Yes, he can bleed to death quite easily.
As you've learned, hamsters should never be housed together--only kept by themselves.

First get the male to the vet or he may bleed to death, take the female too she should be checked over for additional injuries. Secondly get another cage for him if he makes it. They are not compatible by any means. I can't understand why anyone would let two animals fight and not do something about it. This was cruel to allow this to have kept happening.
Have you tried light pressure using a gauze or unscented tissue like toilet paper on the injury area to slow down the bleeding so it has a chance to stop? Have you attempted to call a vet to see what to do until they open? Getting the bleeding to stop is the most important thing and keeping it stopped is next. My God I just realized you found him this morning like that and just now are attempting to get any kind of info on what to do. Why have you waited so long?
I run a small animal rescue and I hope you understand why I'm so upset with what you have stated to everyone. I just took in a few nights ago a hamster where the owner wouldn't give her proper medical care and allowed her to suffer with a nipple infection for several days, then she called me to get advise on what to do. I said I'd take it to the vet, but she'd have to turn the female Syrian over to the rescue and she did. The hamster is now on her way to getting well.
Bottom line your hamsters need medical attention and they need you to take them as soon as possible. They depend on you to keep them safe and well you didn't and now their hurt.

For both I like the name Echo. For girls: Melody, Haven, Layla, Zara, Tinker Bell, Bella, Chloe, JoJo, Harley, Sadie, Miley, Jipsy, Calypso, Cami, Jazmine, Gidget, Emma, Lola, Marley, Callie, Zelda, and Anna. For boys: Felix, Oliver, Spencer, Skeeter, Jake, Winston, Apollo, Hudson, Chance, Lucas, Braxton, Brent, Miles, Maleki Cole, Ruffus, Rambo, Jackson, Cooper, Hudson, Simon, Sabastain, Beast, Monty, Manny, Zorro, and Ringo. You can mix and match the ones you like. Out of your names I really like Peach and Daisy and Mario and Luigi. The ones you picked are cute too, but these are my faves. ^^^ Best of luck naming the soon to be hamsters!

Take the one that is bleeding to the vet, and you should keep them in separate cages, as hamsters are solitary animals

Separate them! Hamsters are solitary animals and don't necessarily get along with others.
Take the little guy to the vet. He can help you better than we can.
I hope he's better soon.

i dont think a vet can do anything for a hamster. hamsters usually die if ythey are badly hurt or traumatized. you will get a huge vet bill for nothing. i speak from experience.

you must separate them or they will kill each other, syrians are solitary animals. which means they live alone.
