Well hamsters can never have too much room but they can have too little. The smallest for two hamsters is one big cage. After that you can keep adding on, I have two roborovski dwarf hamsters and i attached two cages together and they love it, and they are small hamsters. Hope this info comes in handy

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.

Hamsters aren't known to be particularly aggressive creatures, so it's very likely that spiders will continue to come into your room even if you buy a hamster in an attempt to ward them off.

How do you train a hamster not to be scared of an object?
Really, all you need to do is let it get used to the object. Say the object was an orange, and the hamster didn't like this orange, then you bring the orange in one day to the room and show it to the hamster. Then, you bring it in more and more until the hamster is happy enough or it to be sitting there in the cage. It works for me.
