Diet is also extremely important for Russian dwarfs as they are prone to diabetes, if you are in the UK then Burgess Dwarf hamster food is the best. A variety of fresh veg is always welcome but no fruit.

Thanks for the tips, but you slightly misunderstood, the new hamster would be kept away from my current one. I have done enough research to know that. I meant adopting them (I don't like saying buying for animals) together. Making sure they had known eachother since a young age and are already housed together. If they do fight, I have a spare cage.
