Thats mean that is one horrible friend and yes you can go to petco and theres a cage full of males and females or if you dont want to go that far try a local pet shop they might have hamsters

It really depends on the hamster I suggest that while at the pet store ask to hold the hamster before you buy it. If its kind and doesn't struggle against you then he will probably get along with children as long as the dont mistreat him. Two male hamsters ussually never gat along with other male hamsters. Two female hamsters are more likley to get along with each other.
Good luck hope this helps : )

They are wonderful pets and it depends how old the children are if they are 9 or younger i wouldn't get them one. If you do makesure you watch them carefully and they are always on the ground when holding him/her. You should never put to Syrian hamsters together or they will fight to the death so i wouldn't put them in one cage! If your cage was very very very big then that is probably why they didn't fight. another thing is they might have been from the same litter.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Generally Syrian hamsters are solitary animals. They like to live by themselves. I would put one in a cage by its self. Unless you get two dwarf hamsters, they can live together if they are from the same litter.

Sorry about your hamster. My dog ate ours many years ago.
They are very cute pets, but they have a somewhat short natural life span - even without the poison and dogs. Don't expect much more than a couple years.

go to petsmart buy one syrian hamster they sell females only get a nice new cage, the Dazzle is on sale this week, I got one and she loves it, esp the wheel, its better to have just one they are solitary animals, and get an exercise ball for outside the cage fun. sorry about that sick ex friend of yours keep them ex friend. noone like that needs to be around animals period.

I have two teddy bear hamsters, one male one female, from different litters. They love each other and sleep together, but the female hasn't been pregnant yet. I guess I'm lucky. :]
