Yes they do. Syrian hamsters' are solitary creatures, meaning they like to live alone just as nature intended them to.

They are also very territorial creatures, the female being aggressively more so than the male. The female is usually more possessive and protective of her territory because she has a tendency to have a greater parental investment in the territory than the male.

No attempt should be made to house them together in the same or opposite sex.

Putting a male and female together when the female is not in heat will result in the female attacking the male.

The only time they will tolerate each other is when the female is in heat.

What is better a male or female Syrian hamster?

I have read that a female hamster's hormones kick in every couple of days. This makes them very mean weekly. If I were you I would go with a male. You are much safer on getting a nicer hamster if you get a male. I would recommend a Syrian hamster. They are the nicest of all the hamster breeds. DO NOT keep them in the same cage. Syrian hamsters DO NOT get along with their own breed!!
