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 hamster will not eat another one?

Hamsters don't really eat other hamsters. Their not cannibals. However, when the babies are first born and one is really ill; the mother may and most likely will eat the baby. Yes, it sounds gross but I think I remember reading somewhere that a lot of animals do that. So if you have a hamster who just had 5 babies and one of them is gone - that's probably why.
