I work at a pet store and I've seen wayyyy too many dwarf hamsters fought to the death or eaten alive. I would never recommend it.

I appreciate the little dwarf zooming across the video when you talked about their ability to run away in the wild 😂

I have a winter white!! And I’m the girl who was asking about trying to make my mom the get a bigger cage, and she finally agreed thank you so MUCH!!!

I was just now playing with my dwarf hamsters lol

[katelynx]

I had a dwarf pair for 2 years and they were inseparable. I housed them both in a detolf but they literally slept all the time in one corner together lmao

[trucepls]

The real question is : *can you keep 2 pet rocks together?*

[pizzaalice]

last year i went to the pet store to buy a dwarf hamster and the worker told me they have to be housed together, so i have three. i only later discovered that they shouldn't really be housed together !! luckily they all get along but it just shows you shouldn't always trust the pet store workers lmao.

I used to be pro cohabitation until I started rescuing more pairs- and now I am totally against it. Because I’ve learned the littlest things can make them fight even if they’re used to eachother. Males can never be housed together and even with females there’s still a big risk- I’ve always had to separate even with a 1000+ sq in cage and multiple everything. One of the rescue pairs - my first one, got along just fine together for over a year. No fighting, the occasional play fighting which is completely normal, slept together and everything and one night after work I came home to the ones nose hanging off. Sometimes there are no prior signs. I’ve also learned it’s best to not have any one whole hides ( or to have hides with two exits ) because they can feels threatened. Its a lot of work and risk that isn’t needed 🤷🏼‍♀️

YESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOO LONG THANK

I am one of those rare experienced hamster owners who can actually pull off having a pair. Like you I would not advise anyone else to try it and less they had been keeping hamsters for like at least a decade. As always you know what you’re talking about, I’m just glad that my tango and Cash are still getting along and everything‘s fine but then again their enclosure is large enough there are two of everything and they came from the same litter! And I’ve got a perfectly appropriate cage to separate them into if I have to. Preparation is the key to being a good pet parent❤️

It's so cute to see sugar and spice again.

I saw this guy on tiktok housing a bunch of roborovski's together and they were all running on saucer wheels, when i asked "why are they being housed together?" i immediately got blocked 💀😖, actually kinda crazy

This was really helpful because I was recommended to get my hamsters in a pair and now they’ve started fighting. I thought they were social and this wouldn’t be serious but now knowing this and realising that they prefer to be on there own in this environment I’m getting the spare cage down as we speak

[cinnatamminen]

This is really interesting to me though, because the association for hamster owners and breeders in Sweden state that it's required by law to keep Campbells together if possible. Of course, there could be issues such as if they start fighting and then you have to separate them. But like getting two siblings of the same gender is recommended and advised.

I am your biggest fan and can you make more pet morning routine pls🙂

[alanie]

Thank you! This was very helpful, I have had this question for a little while! Now that I have listened to your tips and things to help hamsters, my little Dwarf Russian Hamster is very happy! I fixed my mistakes immediately thanks to you!

From my hamsters love to yours♥️

YAYAYAYAY THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!

After doing a lot of research I decided to get a pair of Russian campels. They are the same sex, species, and age/litter. I’ve had them for 4 months now and they have so far been good. I have an extra cage and will separate them immediately if I see any deathly fights!
