Question

about 8 months ago i got a female hamster. should i get her a friend so shes not lonely? i dont know what kind she is but shes not a dwarf or teddy bear hamster...no males though cuz i dont want to deal with babies.. :P

help?

Answer 1

If it's not a dwarf it has to be a Syrian(teddy bear, Panda, Golden, fancy)  and they don't need a friend.

Answer 2

u should get a male hamster that got operated or something so they wouldn't have babies but friends

Answer 3

You can get another hamster babe but plz DO NOT put them in the same cage u proberly have a serian hamster. If you put them into the same cage they will fight until 1 is dead so if you get another you can put it in a different cage and put them next to each other but make sure there cages are abit apart so they cannot get to each other through it. this way she will still have company and another hammy to chat wiv but she can not fight. Please do not put them together in the same cage plz xx

Answer 4

You shouldn't put two hamsters together. If it's lonely you can take it out and play with it yourself with tp tubes and stuff. You could get another female in a different cage though.

Answer 5

You should have been smart when you bought your  hamster. You sound like you didn't DO ANY research when you bought your hamster. You should really think about buying a hamster book.

HAMSTERS ARE SOLITARY ANIMALS THAT ONLY COME TOGETHER FOR BRIEF SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS.

Answer 6

If she's not a dwarf, she's a Syrian hamster. Syrian hamsters are solitary by nature, so no, she doesn't need a friend - she'll be much happier without one! They like to have their own space. If you got another hamster, they'd fight and generally just stress each other out.

Answer 7

It depends on you, you could get her a friend but there is always the chance that they will fight, it also depends on the size of the cage and of course if the animal is used to being alone it might not be lonely. If you give it lots of toys to play with and play with it yourself then it probably would not be lonely
