Will a hamster be lonely if it can only see another hamster?

Answer 1

yes to my knowledge any type of domesticated rodent can live alone, but they will not be as social or playfull. I have had 20 different types of rats, hamsters, gerbils, and mice. in obseving their live style ive noticed that the hamster will be lonley and not as active, but if their was another hamster i promise you will notice different changes

Answer 2

it depends on there breed and personalities. most hammster breeds like to live in fammily groups, but others (rarely tho) try to run away or try to kill the others put in or neer there teritory. but, if U get one when its young, you can change its pursonality to liking and disliking different things or hamsters/animals. so, some like being alone, but others (most) STILL don't like hammsters they don't know neer them, but love having there family around. the best thing U can do to figure out what your hamster likes best is to visit the store that U got it from ( if U didnt get it from a store, i don't know what to say).

Answer 3

Yes, Syrian Hamsters need to live on their own as if kept together they will fight, sometimes to death. The other hamsters, Dwarf Hamsters, are happier in groups but can be solitary. However, some individuals may be happier on their own.

Answer 4

Syrian Hamsters need to be alone. They are extremely territorial and would fight another hamster.

.

Dwarf Hamsters can be alone, or be with another Dwarf Hamster of the same sex and breed. They enjoy company, but it isn't necessary.

If the hamsters begin fighting, they must be separated. If they are getting along well and then you separate them then they can become depressed.

Answer 5

Hamsters are social animals and usually do better in pairs or groups, as they can groom each other, play together, and communicate through scent marking. While a hamster may be content if it can see another hamster nearby, it is recommended to provide them with a same-sex companion to prevent loneliness and promote their well-being.
