Actually, if you have two females it is possible for them to become friends. If you put male and female together the female is going to end up pregnant then you have to separate them or else the female will kill the male.

Syrians must be separated when they are no older than 8 weeks.

If you buy a hamster do you need to buy 2?

no you don't need to buy 2 . it will be good alone. but if you would like to buy 2 .......... once they are older you should separate them in other cages because when hamsters are old or once they grow up to 4-6 weeks they fight and there fight can end up to death so i would advice you to separate them if you would like 2. and you might think that how do shops/pet shops sell or display the hamsters together in one cage well its because the hamsters are young in that case you can put them together. i wish i helped!

Can to female hamsters be put together?

never ever put syrian or dwarf hamsters cannot be put together because they fight but boys and girls do not (but they have babies obviously!) they fight and it can lead to death!!! :(so dont do it!!! Edit: Actually, male and female hamsters will also fight in between mating and the male will eat the babies or stress out the mother so much that she will eat them. Hamsters are solitary creatures by nature and so it is best to keep them apart once they aren't babies anymore.

Do hamsters do better with a friend in the cage?

yes hamsters should have some one else but they must be the same breed and same litter but never ever put 2 Syrian hamsters together because its just plane cruel because they'll fight till the death if you really want Syrian baby's please ask your vet and a (even better than me) hamster expert all i know is that keep them together while your watching them and as soon as the females pregnant take him out! ANSWER: i have never heard so much crap about Syrian hamsters as i have on this website. i rescued a solid white (normal eyes) Syrian from a pet store where she was living in filth and couldn't even reach her water bottle. i decided she needed a friend and went to a different pet store and bought another one. neither one has ever fought not once. they are now being bred to my bf's sweet Syrian and he has been in there a week with out any problems from the girls!
