Winterwhite hamsters not being friendly anymore!!?

Question

I got two female 6 week old winter white dwarf hamsters from a pet store two weeks back (one white and one grey). They were in the same cage and very friendly with each other. A friend of mine saw them and told that one is male and asked me to separate them to prevent mating. I instantly separated them until I could take them to a vet. A week after their separation, I took them to a vet who said that both were females only and can be together in the same cage.

However the problem is that now they refuse to stick together. I put them together in the same cage but had to separate them within 10 minutes since they fought a lot. The whoite one's eye was injured and swollen for two days due to the fight. Is this normal? Can they stay together again? How do I make them stay together again? I badly want some advice since I do not want them to be alone in different cages. Please help.

Answer 1

dwarf hamsters are stubborn. they will continue to hurt each other, sorry, its the truth. take the injured one to the vet.

Answer 2

Since they were separated and stayed separated for so long then chances are they won't make that connection again.  I'm sorry.
