Is there any possible way to keep my male hamsters from fighting?

Question

my hamster gave birth to 7 baby hamsters and my mom and dad sed i can only keep 2 but the ones i want are male hamsters(that met huh...the day they where born).is there any possible way to keep them from fighting when they grow older????

Answer 1

No. do not listen to the ill informed person above me, she may have dwarf hamsters, people never know what they are talking about. as you know hamsters are extremely territorial and solitary. they may not fight when they are young but they WILL when they get older. when i adult hamsters finds its home, which they will figure out the cage is their home sooner or later, they will try to kill any other hamster in that home. thats rules of nature, you can not stop it.

i am very close to my local pet store owner, i see about twenty of them every day. This Store separate hamsters when they get a certain age, even if that means having twenty tanks of hamsters, thats what it takes to keep them alive.

please just separate the hamsters when the get older. you can keep two of them just get two cages. i currently have six cages of animals, and i love them all.

Answer 2

nope. seperate them.  

Answer 3

No. You need to separate them when they are older.  Even hamsters who are from the same litter will fight.  Hamsters are solitary animals.  They aren't social at all so you need to keep them separate.

Answer 4

i bought two male hampsters one time and they were from the same littler so they were brothers.

they were fine when they were younger but they eventually got territorial and fought eachother.

they ended up killing eachother.

male hampsters are very aggressive and violent to eachother.

so i would not suggest having them in the same cage.

you should get two different and keep them apart to be safe.

Hope this helped =]

Answer 5

YES>>>>growing up we always had male hampsters and they all did fine together, there were never any females in the group, so if that addition is included in your equation I'm not sure whether this will work, but when we had male hampters we used to actually spray them all with the same perfume on their lower half... I know it sounds crazy, but just once at the initial meeting or if there seemed to ever be a little tension brewing they would all get sprayed at the same time...and then they all smelled the same. they never fought in the sense of needing a breakup or drawing blood on eachother...and we had probably like six or seven different ones over the years with up to four males at one time in a cage...they did fine...like I said earlier though I have no idea if this would work with a female in the midst, but all males were great! hope this helps your dilemma

Nope.
