Arw they separate mow? If not they should be and as Matty says the screaming animal should be seen by a vet. If they are together he may be screaming from fear of the other or being attacked or fighting so they need individual cages for keeps now. Check both for wounds and have any injuries seen by a vet if they look swollen, pus filled or red as they are likely infected.
they have been seperated due to fighting!
he cheked then and they both look fine!
so confusing i do not no weather it is like a proper hamster scream or like a loudish squeek i am not sure!
My 1st 2 chinese were girls and 1 attacked the other very badly on it's tummy. They were seperated immediately but injured girl seemed to squeak loudly when she was on own.I am no expert at all but are their houses near each other?
When this happened with mine I 1st thought it was pain but when i placed the injured girl in different room it stopped calling/sqeaking as much.Also the injured girl made a full recovery.
Not sure about ur Chinese but they sometimes make a funny sqeaky nose when handling them if you listen really carefully.
