Hi, I have 2 Russian dwarf hamsters, from the time they were a few days old. I didn't know much about housing them, and initially had them together in a large cage. They seemed to be quite content with each other and used to snuggle together to sleep. One day they became so vicious with each other, one ending up with a nasty bite. I read that they become territorial and should not be kept together. Now i have them in separate cages but if they spot each other they immediately start biting on their cages! Hope this info helps.
