Roborovski dwarf hamster meeting another hamster2007-11-24 22:14:54

I'm planning on getting a roborovski dwarf hamster in about a month. So is my boyfriend. We are both getting females so that they will be social together.

I've heard that this kind of hamster is very social. I have a carrier for past rodents I've had ( that's been cleaned ). I'm hoping to bring my new friend over to meet my boyfriends roborovski hamster and hopefully they can become play mates.

Is this a good idea? Will they fight if they're both females of the same species? I expect a little comfrentation, but will they get along?

Or is this a bad idea to let them meet?

Answers:

If they're introduced as babies and living together, they >>should<< be OK.

If they're not living together, they'll forget each other, and just fight. As they get older, they'll be willing to fight to the death..

If you put them together, they still may not live together, but there's a high chance they will, if they're babies still. Littermates are ideal for this, as they don't need introducing. Even then, it's been known for 1 to kill the other.

So they either need to be together or apart, no 1/2 way house. Sorry.

Hope this helps.

you cannot do that i am sorry your female hamsters will fight. and you can't get a male because you will end up with 90 babies in 3 weeks..so your out of luck if only you had a male. males don't fight

good luck :)

cheers,

the females will fight unless they are sisters

If they are born together then buy them both at the exsact time and put them in the same cage then . As i have two and they had a fight and one broke the front left leg . Now they are separated they look happy . I do not recomend it :( Sorry x Hope the advise wrked . x .
