Great story and Petunia T Ham was just wonderful. in the second photo I just adore how she is a complete round ball...just adorable. At their young ages, this is a good time to see if they will be okay together. I think a certain amount of "pinning", squeaking, and paw slapping is pretty much par for the course. It's pretty much a given that there will be some spats until they determine who's the big boss. I took racing hamsters advice when I got them and took everything except their two wheels, a couple of toilet paper rolls, their food and their water out of the cage. At first they slept in different places in the cage. I have since put their house back and they have decided to share it as the weather has cooled. I haven't heard any spats in a while now and they both look bright eyed and happy. Good luck with your two. I really hope they become a happy pair
