Hi everyone!

I have a little dilemma regarding my two dwarf hamsters. Snowflake and Little Panther

. They have lived together since they were babies, about 7-8 month ago. From the beginning the Snowflake was the dominant one. L.P. was always belly up and squeaks in to submission. Everything was clear. But a week ago they start fighting and LP is the aggressive one and is chasing and biting Snowflake all day long. Snowflake is always in defensive posture with the mouth open and ready to defend himself. Sometimes LP is trying to groom Snowflake but he keeps his defensive position and they end up fighting again. I understand the domination need and I expected that LP to become the dominant one and everything start to be calm again but the fighting do not stop.

Please help me with some advise.

Many Thanks!
