I currently have a male russian hamster Snowball and I am thinking of getting another female Syrian hamster that I have seen on gumtree. The only trouble is they would have to stay in the same room with only a few inches between their cages. My last hamster , a female Syrian did not take to having snowball next to her and was stressed by him so that I had to take Snowball to live at my parents house. I don't want to do this again. Snowball wasn't at all bothered by Hammy. So do you think another female Syrian hamster will be ok with her cage right next to Snowball? It is a big cage and I'd like to give this hamster a good home.
