damn WW hammies. look cute only. fact is they can be rather annoying.

once a while kacau them also can be fun.

i won't say they WILL fight la. to say they WILL fight is like saying put together SURE confirm fighting.

from what i observed (from 1st hand experience) is that it depends on their character.

i have 4 males staying together fine (yes, as in right now).

in fact from my experience, the father (A) end up whacking all his male off-springs. but another senior male (B) stays with the off-spring of (A) well, just that he'll occasionally go kacau them a bit but certainly not fighting. (B) is of a gentle nature, (A) was aggressive and defensive.

i also have seen females that just can't live together.

a lot of different encounters. for my case, i let the male stay with the babies. they grew up together.

thought all would be fine already.......... then suddenly donno why is like chaos la. suddenly the father like to whack the rest.

so no choice, seperate the father (A). the babies put with their "uncle" which is another male (B), more senior than (A) and no problem at all.

and here's the strange thing. when (A) was small, (A) could live with (B) for a while and after that it's fight. when both were adult and i introduced them, wahhh damn serious fight, until i have to seperate them. but as i mentioned, i intro (B) to (A)'s kids, all fine.



hamsters won't die of insufficient food unless it's really really really many days without food. 3 days without food is nothing IMO, animals aren't like humans. we don't eat for few hours - hungry already. animals on the other hand (being from the wild and carry their NATURAL instinct) can go on many days without food.
