No, of course they don't If it is too hot in their habitat, and this can occur to any type of hamsters, they bite their fur off to cool them down. Also, if a hamster is stressed they tend to bite and chew on themselves, often when another hamster is housed with them.

How much should you feed your Dwarf Hamster?

Dwarf hamsters are small pets that don't eat very much.Two tablespoons of dry hamster food,bought from a pet shop(I get mine at Pets Mart.) Dwarf hamsters only eat one forth of there food which is not very much,although your hamster is not very big at all.Always give your hamster that amount and if you own more than three adults,give a little more to prevent fighting over food,so remember always give your hamster a little more than it eats when you own more than three adults.And change your food daily.

Should you put two dwarf hamsters in the same cage?

If they are Roborofskis or Winter Whites, then the answer is a definite yes. These dwarf hamsters are very social, and require the company of at least one of their own kind. However, do not put two different species of dwarf hamsters in the same cage. They will fight. Also, unless you intend to breed, only put hamsters of the same gender in one cage, or else you'll have a hamster population explosion!Also, do not put a Syrian with a dwarf hamster.
