Syrian hamsters should never be kept in the same cage. You should have stated that this only goes for Dwarf hamsters.

It's hard to take someone credibly when they house their stock of hamsters on pine bedding.

Get 2 females, they usually get along very well. And its a myth that 2 male hamsters cant be in the same cage, there are those who get pissed off and fight, but many dont.
