No, Syrian hamsters must be housed alone when they get to be 9 weeks old and would definitely kill and even eat any other hamster with them, especially a dwarf. Dwarf hamsters can often be kept in groups however.

This person on top is wrong the correct answer would depend on the breed. There are about 4 main breeds. Out of the 4 only 3 are social animals when they reach maturity. The 3 are dwarf, chines, and rob hamsters are the social class hamsters harder to handle as pets. Syrian or golden hamsters are the most common hamsters as pets but the issues is there very territorial when they reach the adult age especially males. An will fight till the other one is dead if they feel that there being invaded. Even when its the offspring of the dominant hamster. Yes they can be together till a certain age is meet then they are better kept alone since they are not social adults. I will admit there are some cases where they do live together under certain conditions.

Note i will be seeing if its possible if they can live together if there is a habitate that's big enough. Im planning to make a cage or pin 5ft by 8ft an see if they can co habitat with each other an allow there offspring to live in the cage with controlled breeding conditions.

No. Syrian hamsters naturally lead very solitary lives and are highly territorial and therefore need to be kept in a cage of their own. Syrian hamsters turn aggressive and fight the Dwarf hamsters if kept in the same cage.
