Default Re: F.O.P. Gabia Tamburino (Linea Natura)

A word of caution on introducing adult male russian dwarfs. It`s better to keep two males or females from a very young age (brothers or sisters) as introducing two unfamiliar hamsters could result in disaster and stress for your exsiting hamster. It`s definately not something that I would ever attempt or recommend. Here is an actual quote from am owner`s manual that I have on winter white (siberian hamsters):

"behaviour: The siberain hamster is good natured and sociable, althought group housing of adult males is not recommended. Siberian males can live together IF they have been raised together from a very young age since weaning and if they have enough space to hide from one another if tempers flare."

I just wanted to point this out before you got excited about buying another winter white. If you do, never put it with your existing male.

Back to Hamtastic`s revue now.
