You dont need to take it bak they may all be females like males they fight for territory and as females they know each other and wat they r goona do because they r the same specie.the best way is to seperate them different cages.

SLOW DOWN!!! you cant just put them together like that! your 1st hamster thinks of the cage as her territory and will try to get rid of the other one. buy another cage and put the cages close together but not touching so they can smell each other. keep swapping the hamsters into each others cages then eventually let them meet somewhere where neither thinks of it as their territory have 2 people so each can hold 1 hamster.
by the way hamsters are meant to be kept separately

to introduce hamsters, (especially females) put the new hamster in the other females cage and keep her there for about 30 minutes. then put the other female in and they should be fine.

They will kill each other until one of them dies. I would suggest to put them in separate cages. The only time they don't fight is at the young baby stage when they need their mom.
-hopefully this helped

Please get them out of that cage! They need separate cages. They will end up hurting each other. Just get another cage. If you don't have one handy, put one in a big box with bedding, food, and water, and some air holes, and go get another cage. Good luck.

Hamsters are solitary animals and even live alone in the wild. So they will fight if you put them together. I would separate them before they hurt each other.

get all of them in seperate cages or they will all kill each other even the ones that were in the cage before the new onr came along! im sick to death of writing this and people should know this before getting the poor things!

Unfortunately the news is not good, your original female will fight to the death or until killed. Its a territory thing. Your only options are keep them apart. Sometimes it will happen introducing males as well. Doomed to spinsterhood.

What you should do is get another cage beacause they will keep fighting this happened to me and one of them ended up bleeding.

one of them is going to kill the other. Alot of ppl think that just because they are hamsters that they will get along when in fact they wont.
