  • @TouchTheCrazy

    she's talking about dwarf hamsters, not normal Syrian hamsters, and dwarf hamsters can be kept together

    so OWNED

  • @TouchTheCrazy You're confused.

    Dwarf hamsters are meant to be in groups, or with a pair.

    You're thinking of syrian hamsters being together.. thats a huge no-no..

  • @REDSKINS8923 very true, they give you more love but they are more hard to take care of :/

  • Dwarf hamsters especially my russian dwarf hamster are very territorial. I only got one and shes fairly nice, but she gets reallly cranky if you wake her up. :(

  • SO SHOULD I GET A DWARF HAMSTER OR SYRIAN HAMSTER??? 

  • QUESTION: i have two male dwarf hamsters and when i put them together, they fight. is this just because they're males? cause the hamsters in your video seem to be getting along perfectly.

  • So a dwarfie who is alone will be unhappy?

  • Im not making fun of the hamster or anything, but i was Laughing my head off when the hamster kin of stumbled at 1:15 .....n_n so cute!!!!

  • i got my dwarf hamster today mines called t bone

  • dwarf hamsters need large cages not small

  • So many hamsters kept in such i tiny cage?? :L

  • What kind of bedding is that? Saw dust? and more the better? Even dwarf hamsters are territorial animals. They don't function better in groups, it's just "okay" to have them in groups, although they still often fight to the death anyway.
