Question

I really want 2 hamsters, what's best 2 girls or 2 boys. I don't want them to breed.

Answer 1

Well if u don't want them to try to be aggressive towards each other and both try to be the alpha i would try to go for girls.

Answer 2

2 girl hamsters, 2 boy hamsters will turn g*y on eachother

Answer 3

2 boys will fight! your not supposed to have 2 boy hamsters together. DEFINATLY 2 girls! there would be no problem there.

Answer 4

2 girls they're lest feisty ^____^

Answer 5

only get one hamster, once they reach sexual maturity they fight. they are solidarity animals are prefer to live alone anyways. a k.a. they don't like other hamsters  

Answer 6

Two girl hamsters are better because there is a less risk of fighting and females are know to have a longer lifespan.

Answer 7

Females, they are more peaceful with each other but the main thing is the males have a bad smell the females don't have

Answer 8

I've had a lot of hamsters in my lifetime. I've had two females together that worked out fine, also two males together. If the two males can get along and not fight I found them to be more entertaining.

Don't get a male and female though unless you're ready for babies and can provide homes.

None of mine have ever killed each other. But they were also from the same litters.

Answer 9

2 boys they are usually more playfull

Answer 10

I had two boy hamsters

Loveddddd them

They have alot more energy and are much more playful. And I've come to find they smell alot better than the girls (:

Answer 11

Hamsters just don't live together well.  We had a pair of females from the same litter who lived together peacefully for the first couple of months, and then started fighting as they reached maturity.  We eventually had to separate them because they were getting some bad injuries from fighting.  I also had two males when I was young, and one killed the other in a fight.

If you're looking for rodents that will keep each other company, as well as being a gentle and sweet pet for you, I'd suggest rats.  Otherwise ONE male hamster would be your best bet.

Answer 12

2 girls as boys will fight.

Answer 13

I had two boy hamsters one time and they fought nonstop and one ended up killing the other.

go for 2 girls or 1 of each.

trust me!

Answer 14

girls. they aren't as agressive.

Answer 15

2 girl hamsters, as males are generally more territorial. It's best if you get them young so that they can grow up together to reduce the chances of fighting. But if you walk into a pet store, you'll see that the same genders are grouped together in a cage and there's usually little to no fighting.

Answer 16

I would say girls, since I had a boy hamster and he used to "pleasure" himself, and that got annoying to keep seeing lol

but boy hamsters also fight more than female hamsters, so I would definitely say girls. Girls do fight though.

Answer 17

2 boys, girl hamsters fight each other.  

Answer 18

2 boys.  They might fuss a bit to establish territory but then they will have to get over it.  Every boy hamster I ever had was gentle and didn't bite.  Every female hamster I ever picked up bit me.   Just my experience.

Answer 19

2 boys. Female hamsters are smelly.

Male hamsters are gentle.

Hope you'll get a pair of healthy hamsters.^^

Answer 20

i had both before and id say that the girls are far more aggressive and touchy then the males...but you could traine em i guess..boy hamsters are more fun.

2 males are better. Females can be nasty to each other. Cats do anyway.... not too sure bout hammys

Answer 22

Answer 23

Girls. The boys may fight at times.

Answer 24

Answer 25

Ok one boy and one girl might fight!Or have babies

And youd better off get 2 girls

And two boys are more playfull

Answer 26

One of each but don't let them make babies or keep them in seperate cages.
