No it's not. Syrian hamsters are very territorial and need to live alone. If they are kept in a cage together they will fight. As they are relatives they can live together in the same cage for up to 5 weeks. At this age the puppies can get pregnant so must live separately to avoid this. At 5 weeks old they must be split. If you want to keep more than one hamster its best to keep another breed as Syrian hamsters are the only breed that must live alone.

What is the temperature of the water to wash a hamster?

Hamsters shouldn't be washed under water unless of an emergency. If you have a dwarf hamster, it might like a dust bath to freshen its fur. Otherwise, only wash hamster if it absolutely needs to be washed. (For Example: gum stuck in its fur)If you must wash the hamster, wash it in warm water and dry it immediately with a hand towel. It can easily die from hypothermia if it is wet.

Do spiders come in your room if you have a hamster?

Hamsters aren't known to be particularly aggressive creatures, so it's very likely that spiders will continue to come into your room even if you buy a hamster in an attempt to ward them off. If spiders didn't come in your room before you had a hamster, it's unlikely that the presence of a hamster would increase the frequency with which spiders enter said room.
