You cannot stop two hamsters from fighting. It doesn't matter what two genders they are, or how young or old. They will keep having that urge to fight with each other. The only way to prevent them from fighting would be to put them both in separate cages, each cage a large enough cage so they could each have enough space that they are comfortable with. There's that way, or you could always sell one if you wish to take that route.

I've dealt with hamsters before.

Hamsters are cute, no doubt of that. However, syrian hamsters are solitary and thus they will fight if two adults are together in a cage. They can inflict serious injury on each other and so must be kept in separate cages. Even breeding pair of Syrian Hamsters live on their own and only meet each other for the purposes of mating. Dwaf hamsters

are more sociable, they usually stay peacefully in pair or in group of same species, either same sex or mix. Play-fighting often occurs when they are establishing an order of dominance, they may squeak a lot but there is little physical contact. If however, the fighting is very physical and prolonged then it may be that they don't get along and need to be separated.

Tips for preventing hamsters fight

* Keep syrian hamsters solitary, they are happier alone.

* Do not keep dwarf hamster apart for too long. They forget whom their friends are when they forget how their friend smells.

* Do not keep fighting hamsters together. Chances are that fighting hamsters will fight to the end.

* Give the hamsters a lot of distractions by giving them ample space, plenty of hiding places and toys. This will reduce the stress created by having to live with one another in an enclosed space

When your hamsters start to fight they need to be separated straight away as hamsters like to be on there own , so i suggest getting another cage to separate them.
