Can I add a second hamster?

Question

I have a sweet as can be male Russian Campbell's hamster. He is still VERY young at around 2 months. I really wanted to get him a bigger cage. So if i get a second hamster and let them interact them move them both into the new cage will they fight? I would get a male i hear males aren't has aggressive as females? And will he enjoy a new a hamster?

Answer 1

I just added a second Robo hamster to my cage about a week ago and they are doing great!  My first Robo hamster is about 6 months old, but is very timid and afraid of everything and not a fighter or biter.  I thought a second hamster would do him some good.  So far they are getting along well.  The baby hamster is very social and follows my older hamster around.  Make sure to put them on neutral grounds and keep an eye on them for the first couple of days, especially at night.
