Try separating them for a little bit (like a day or two). When you put them back together, rub beeswax all over both of them. Then they smell like each other and except each other better. If that doesn't work, then you probably should get another cage.
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.
If they where not born together or they did not grow up together then they will fight! this goes for any type of pet! It is because one will try to show domenence and it can lead in to fighting.
Only if it is a dwarf with a dwarf
Hamsters do not socialise with other hamsters, unlike other domestic pr, specificets. Hamsters fight other hamsters in the wild when one gets in to the others' territory. They will bite eachother, specifically on butts!
Generally speaking, no. Russian (dwarf) hamsters are more apt to bite, because they are smaller and easier to frighten. However, it depends more on how and how often the hamsters are handled then on the breed. Gently handle your hamsters starting with a couple of minutes a day and building up over time (do not handle them for a few days after initially bringing them home, they need time to adapt to their new home).
Hamsters biting each other butts simply refers to fights.
Not all hamsters are nice, at first he or she might bite you or nibble at your finger but if you get to know your hamster and your hamster gets to know you he or she will stop biting and will start to build trust in you. There are no other hamsters I know that are nice.
It sounds like they're playing to me.
Rolling her and biting her are signs of domination. You need to keep an eye on it. Some hamsters are very territorial, and will fight other hamsters, even if they are female. He can potentially hurt her.
It's the same with dogs, they want to know each other's scent. If they know their scent, they won't be afraid of each other.

Hamsters can be very aggressive towards other hamsters. It is very common. If your hamster is displaying this behavior, it is best for it (and any other potential victims) to separate it from all other hamsters.
Well, hamsters really should not be put in a cage with other hamsters as they fight with each other
Yes, hamsters get pregnant through sexual reproduction.
Usually the mother of the hamsters wouldn't let them near their babies...
Gerbils tend to bite less in the first place, and if you get them from a respectable breeder and not from a pet store, the gerbil will probably already be hand-tamed and have no reason to bite except if it is threatened. Hamsters are nocturnal, and are not to keen on being woken up, and are therefore more prone to biting. As for hurting less, gerbils only nip unless they mean it and rarely draw blood, while hamsters tend to be biting to bite.
