well teddy bear hamsters don't mind either way usually. if you get a pair make sure they are both the same s*x. if you get a boy and a girl you are going to have babies on your hands. and the mothers can be a bit possessive of the babies. they might even eat them. so be careful if you plan to get more than one.

Teddy bear hamsters are basically the long haired breed of the syrian hamster. If two are put together they will fight, and probably kill each other. If a male and female are put together they will mate, and you'll have babies. Hamsters are solitary so they won't mind being alone.

Make sure to play with your hamster and provide plenty of safe toys to make sure he doesn't get bored.
