Can i put two roborovski hamsters together?


i bought a roborovski hamster last week and have heard they are very social, so i was wondering if anybody knew if it is okay to buy another (preferably female) roborovski hamster and put them together, would they get on okay? I've heard differnt things, some say they would get along fine and just play fight, but some say they wouldn't get along. I don't know what is right so can anybody help?

Once separted dwarf hamsters, even litter mates, are hard to put together as adults. It is always a gamble.
IF you already have a male, and put a female in with him, they may accept each other, they may not. The younger the better. IF you current hamster is female, then she may not accept anyone in her space now.

It depends.
If you go back to the store, try to find a littermate.
It'll most likely recognize it.
Try to introduce them on neutral territory, like on your bed.

See how they react.
If it's good, yay!
If not, bye buddy. :(


Some people are adamant and work with them until they're used to eachother, which could takes weeks, others just give up and send the hamster packing.
