No, they prefer to live alone. If they have company, they will fight and will try to kill each other.

Can female Russian dwarf hamsters kill each other?
All the animals that I can think of bite--except for goldfish. Russian Dwarf hammies DO bite, but it's in their natural instinct. You can tame this out of them, though. It will take a lot of time and patience. I am saying this as an experienced dwarf owner. Play with the hammiw everyday, DO NOT wake it up while its sleeping, and feed it food and treats by hand.yes, Russian dwarf do bite, i had the same question and had my hamster answer it. Dwarf Hamsters are more 'Nippy' and more territorial of their cages than Syrian, if you scare you hamster or take it away from its food bowl it may bite if you want to try this it might help: put a towel on your hands then place the hamster on you hands with the towel on it, make it trust you again by , talking nicely to it and it should start to trust you after a while....... hope this works for everybody!!!! no fancy Russian dwarf hamsters do not bite but most other breeds of hamsters do

Will two girl winter hamsters fight?
probably, syrian hamsters are solitary creatures, but i supose like any other creature, you can allways try, becuase it depends on the nature of those hamsters. Try gradually introduing them to each other, then put them together and see how they get on, move them into seperate cages if they start to fight, check regually for wounds if they live together. Dwarf hamsters are generally better for living in pairs.
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!
How much hamster breeds are there?
There is a Syrian hamster (often going under the name of fancy, golden, teddy bear etc, all of these are wrong, pet shops just give them fancy names to make them sound better so people will pay more). They are solitary and the biggest kind of pet hamster. The next are dwarf hamsters. They are significantly smaller, and there are 3 different kinds. Chinese dwarf hamster. These are the smallest and have a longer tail than any other pet hamster kind. They can be kept in pairs, but fighting is a very high chance and your better off leaving them alone. The Campbells Russian Dwarf hamster. About double the size of a Chinese dwarf. They can live in pairs or groups. Winter whites: Very similar to a Russian dwarf, but slightly smaller, and has a different head shape. None can be cross bred other than a Russian Dwarf and a Winter White, but very unadvisable to do so as if done wrong, the hamster can experience extreme pain. Also the cross breeds (sometimes known as "pudding" hamsters) are prone to get more health problems, one being diabetes.
