No. Hamsters are solitary creatures. They prefer to be the only hamster in the cage. They want their own territory for themselves. If you put two mature hamsters together, they will fight to the death.
Brambleclaw lover17703,
The only two times you should put two hamsters together in a cage is when you breed a female and a male ( but you should take them out after except for some breeds they need to stay with eachother a bit longer) and when the female is taking care of her babies. But she might eat them the first time and seperate them after 3-4 weeks. Otherwise she will eat them!

∙ 15y agoNO NO NO Definetly Not, they will fight, cross species, all leading to a disaster. It`s just better off leaving them alone. A gerbil may carry a disease that hamsters are vulnerbal to. And vice versa. Dont chance it and ask your local pet shop employee for further reasoning as to why not.

∙ 14y agoSyrian hamsters are very territorial, so they will fight each other to the death if they are put in the same cage. Unless you want to breed them, I recommend that you only put in the female hamster in the same cage if she is in 'heat'.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the type of hamster. If your hamsters are Syrian/Golden/Teddy bear/Fancy bear the answer is no. Any dwarf hamster such as roborovoski, winter white, etc the answer would be yes.
Hope it helped!

∙ 14y agoIt really depends on the type of hamster. The pet store or professional breeder will give the best advice.

∙ 16y agoOnly the females should be kept in the same cage. The males will tend to fight.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, but only if they are the same breed of hamster.
Ex...Two short haired can stay in the same cage...two long haired can stay in the same cage.
