R Black bear hamsters solitary2007-11-24 22:14:21

i have a female black bear hamster, and i want 2 get another female black bear hamster. can i put them in the same cage with out fighting, or do i have 2 put them in different cages? she is about 2 years old and i want 2 get a baby. would they get along?

Answers:

Yes they are solitary. Male and female alike. An older BBHamster, whether male or female will not tolerate a younger hamster in it's territory. I have seen many BBHamsters who were not seperated in time give one another wounds that required stitches or left lasting scars. (They can be kept with their siblings for about 5 weeks then seperated by gender groups 'til about 3 to 3.5 months, then isolated one from another.) A reputable breeder or pet store will give you the same information. I suggest going ahead and getting another female hamster and keeping it in another cage. Good luck.

They usually do not, you usually have to keep them in seperate cages. In some cases they get along fine, but in most cases they don't. You can try it and watch them closely, they will chase each other around for a short time, but if they are biting one another or one is bullying the other it is best to seperate them.

They are usally solitary and wont get along. You will probably have to put them in different cages.

you'd have to put them in different cages at first but if your willing to try this (i'm not garenteing it'll work but)
