Yes Babyboos it is much easier when you have quite a few to choose from and are breeding. It is more often the pets bought as youngsters that eventually start to fight. When you think about it really it is not a natural way for animals to live. Most species will choose to live in either male/female pairs, singly or in family groups. There are not many where you find sexes living together in single sex groups except for the 'youth' phase till they get to breeding time. Perhaps that is why it is not entirely unexpected.
Litter mates or hammies who have been run on together seem to get along better long term than those who have been introduced later.
