Answer 2

Roborovski hamsters are not the same as say a syrian. They are naturally social animals and prefer to live with company.

Having said that, frequently pet robos fight and have to be split up when they begin fighting for dominance.

But please don't take this to mean that you should not get 2 together. All animals should be given the best chance to be happy. Just be prepared that you might have to have 2 tanks.

Robos do best in the largest tank you can get (and it must be a duna style or they can escape through the bars). You should feed them by the scatter method as this prevents them becoming territorial over a food bowl and stopping the weaker one eating. 2 wheels are essential and ideally 2 sleeping areas plus as much space as you can get. Robos need a huge amount of space to live happily together. They cannot be kept in any cages designed for dwarf hammies as these are notoriously small.

Male robos are actualy easier to keep as a pair and are less likely to fight than females . I have a pair of sisters that are over 6 months old and despite one fight when they reached maturity they are still living happily together.

A lot of people have had success linking 2 tanks together so that there are 2 completely separate living areas but with tubes connecting the 2 so that the robos can visit each other.

If the worst happens and you have to separate then ideally they would then be kept in tanks next to each other so that they can still see each other.

Answer 3

generally, hamsters of the comparable gender will combat one yet another. that is purely a actuality. they are not getting alongside, i'm uncertain why, yet they don't Dwarf hamsters are much extra aggressive than favourite hamsters, because of the fact in nature they could desire to be because of the fact they're plenty smaller than the others. Male hamsters mutually consistently combat, because of the fact they only have the "alpha" instinct and want to be the chief. So 2 Dwarf Male hamsters will probably combat one yet another, and finally considered one of them could die. Sorry, yet i desire I helped.

Answer 4

Hamsters are solitary animals and should be housed separately. Males may tend to fight, and possibly to the death, if not raised together. When they're young, they'll get along, but once they become sexually mature, they tend to get aggressive towards other hamsters.

Answer 5

If the two hamsters have been raised together, they should get along fine. Just make sure you have lots of room for them.

Answer 6

once they hit their maturity level they will fight like there's no tomorrow. you will think its ok for the first couple of weeks, but they will fight eventually. hamsters are solitary and need to be kept as one per cage. whether you get one or two, eventually you might wind up with one anyway.

Answer 7

for about a month, yes.

otherwise, if they're in there for any longer, they'll start fighting and end up with one dead.


that's what happened to me.
