Its already been stated above that Syrian hamsters are solitary and the Chinese hamsters are now considered to be the same. However Roborovski's dwarfs, Campbell's dwarfs and winter white dwarfs do quite well in pairs (though WWs seem to have a few more falling outs than the other two species). I actually have a robo male who is doing very badly alone and so I am getting a young male pup to see if they get along and it cheers him up!
I have recently introduced two separate pair of adult female robos successfully (After lots of research and consideration) and it has really changed the behaviour of the older two who have become a lot more lively and happy with the influence of the younger two. Which is proof for me that taking a chance with pairs of dwarfs is never a bad thing it just needs to be done carefully.
I just want to ask Sunny (and not in a mean way or anything) but what was the meaning behind the post? I mean we all know which hamsters can and cant live together, what the signs of fighting are and when to separate and can ask any questions that we need answering but this post is going to disapear to the back pages where people probably wont read it after this week so I dont really understand it? If I am being completely daft though do tell me
(Tsk yet another long post from me
