I noticed she was a Syrian hamster... They are solitary animals and will kill each other if placed togeter... I would STRONGLY advice agains putting 2 hammies togeter...

She is a dwarf hamster and I read that they can be together, I have had Ninalee since March so I am still no expert. Do you know anything about how Dwarf whammies get along together?

Usually, when both hammies are from the same litter, chances are better of tem both staying togeter. That being said, there is a lot of chances for them to fall out anyway. So I personnaly wouldn't risk it.

Are you sure she is a dwarf, she looks just like a Syrian to me or poss described as a Teddy bear hamster in US.
If she is dwarf and has been living alone I wouldn't recommend introducing another hamster anyway, as they may not take to each other best chances to get on are siblings, but they can still fall out.
Do you have a full photo of Ninalee?

Can this be stickied? Really irritating to have to look for it, and it's extremely useful.

Stickied.

Be on the lookout for Petco's Dollar-per-gallon sales periodically, as they make those 40 gallon aqariums very cheap! (one's happening right now).

Flower says thank you!!! I'm so happy about this thread... my husband is still in the design phase of her "giant, one-level, old-lady-Syrian-hamster retirement home bin..." so this gives me a resource in the meantime.

Lugarry, Petsmart stopped selling WARE Natural for Hamsters a while ago - they only offer a much taller version for rats now, which I would not advise because its platforms are small, and a ham could have an unpleasantly long fall from the top. I can edit your list to add that, if you can't. Petco sells it now (on-line only), but it's rather overpriced there (maybe with a sale coupon of sorts it'd be okay, but still, it used to go for as little as $38 at PetSmart on sales).

Yes, please do edit it, Hamtastic. It's too old for me to do now
