Can dwarf hamsters be alone

Answer 1

Dwarf Hamsters and Mice are two different creatures. I do not think it would be a good idea to put the two together simply because they do not interact with each other in the wild. The may think this (unknown creature) is an enemy and try to attack. They might compete for food, shelter,... ext.

Answer 2

If they are the same sex, you can't. They'll fight after they are 8 weeks old.

But if it's a male and a female together. you can. ;D

Heres a little more detailed answer. If they are the same gender they might not get in fights. Especially if their females. If you put a male and female in the cage together they might end up fighting so you should be careful. If they do and you really want them to breed you can put them in a small shoe box and make them need each other. Make sure you watch them carefully so if you see any cuts or hear lots of squeaking you should separate them. If one of them does have a wound you can put antiproxide on it and some neosporin on it for the next 3 days. If the results are worse or aren't getting any better you should take it to the vet.

Answer 3

I recommend it having another hamster but one that is compatible and will not fight with the other hamster. It gives them a partner so when your not playing with them they're not alone. I hope your hamster has a great, adventurous life. :-)

Answer 4

Yes, but it's better off getting 2 if u ant baby dwarf hamster get a boy and a girl. If u don't want a baby dwarf hamster either get 2 boys or 2 girls or get it Spayed/Neutered and then u can have a boy and a girl dwarf without having them having baby dwarf hamsters. if your getting any have but dwarf don't put them in the same cage.

Answer

Hamsters are solitary animals; it is fine to have an only hamster.

Answer 5

Yes they can, hamsters when given a comfortable environment and provided with food and water they are perfectly capable of living alone and surviving by themselves. However, if another hamster is added to the lone hamsters space, it may react by either welcoming and liking the other hamster or with an outburst of anger/fear and reject the added hamster.

Answer 6

yes a hamster should have a friend.
