I have 2 male hamsters in the same cage, they sometimes fight over food. It is alright but they will have small fights and there will be a dominant one and a shy one. The shy one always needs encouragement.

NO. Definitely not with Syrian/Golden Hamsters, but you may be able to put 2 brothers or 2 sisters in that are dwarf. Don't do it with any other than dwarf hamsters, and DO NOT EVER PUT TOGETHER THE OPPOSITE GENDERS, or you'll find even more hamsters in there.

It would not be wise because even two hamsters of the same species will fight. I would reccommend keeping each hamster in its own cage.

No, hamsters are generally strictly solitary. Putting them with another hamster will be stressful, they will fight, and one may be killed.

What should i do I am getting to hamsters if they mate and she has babies should i get them out of the cage immediately so she doesn't eat them?

If she does have babies, take the male out so she WON'T eat them. She may get stressed. Also, don't get the baby hamsters out of the cage. They will probably die, and if you put them back in the cage, the mother hamster may eat them. Just watch the baby hamsters and the mother hamster. Hope this helped. DON'T TAKE THE BABIES OUT OF THE CAGE!!!!! With out the mom the babies will die. And if you put the babies back before they die she will eat them. Besure to take the male out yhe cage. If she feels like here babies are indangered she will eat them.good luck.


Do baby male hamsters fight at 3 weeks old?

Okay, Baby syrian Hamsters should be separated in to their own cage at about 3 weeks old otherwise fights will break out between them. (and this goes for male and female). Syrians are solitary animals and prefer being on their own in a cage. The answer to your question is yes and, if your hamsters are syrian, you should separate them soon or some babies may kill the others. Though if your hamsters are dwarf then i don't know sorry :( hope i helped ox


Are hamsters social animals?

SOME hamsters are, but most of them are not. If you place a hamster inside of an environment with another, they usually do not react very well, resulting in biting and sometimes, death. It is usually a good idea to make sure that if you are going to have hamsters share a cage at ALL, they are both female hamsters. This is because male hamsters are more territorial, which is why they fight so viciously.


Will the male hamster eat the baby hamsters?

Your hamster could eat its babies and then again it might not. You do need to separate the male from the cage because he definitely will eat them. Make sure that you are feeding them the best food possible
