    Default FUCK....My Robo Hamsters started fighting!!

    Fuck the pet store people...bastards...they told me that they were social and didn't fight... they fuckin lied...just wanted the money and wanted my hammies to die so i could buy more

    I've had them for a couple days and they were friendly to eachother...they slept with one anything and everything

    Now i just had to break them up from fighting. I can't afford to get them another cage but i'm sad and i don't know which one i could give away if i have to

    any other solutions?

    Could i keep them in little cheap seperate tanks when i sleep and keep them together when i am awake and can monitor them...or will that just lead them to fight more ? i don't want them to end up dead

    Another hampster cage shouldn't cost that much. They don't need anything fancy. I always just used a simple aquarium style cage with a classic mesh lid and never had any problems. I don't think it's ever a good idea to put two rodents together in the same cage if you don't have too. So often they either end up fighting and killing eachother, or breeding like crazy (and eventually start eating the babies).

    Can't you put a divider in the middle of the cage?

    Damn, that sucks. I wouldn't personally go for an aquarium as rodents are really sensitive to ammonia and it tends to sit in the bottom of the tank - though it can work if it's pretty shallow. Personally I'd be looking for second hand cages, as they can be pretty cheap online.

    I'm sorry the pet store dudes were wankers. Not that it helps, but it's possible they're just ignorant and poorly trained rather than deliberately sabotaging you.

    They sound adorable..I love hamsters. Try not to think about how much you spent on them but the happiness that having them as pets will bring you. Many times pets can offer invaluable companionship.
    I'd just go with what someone said earlier and buy a cheapie terrarium off of CL. Once animals start fighting, it usually gets worse, especially when it's over territory. You'll end up spending more on vet bills than you would a new set-up.

    I would call the pet store and make a complaint. They need to know that their lie to you and the fate of the animals will not go unnoticed.

    I agree with Earl, use a divider instead. May be cheapest solution.

    i just realised that the only thing they fight over is the wheel. so i just got a very cheap xtra wheel to put in for now. but i'm going to expand the cage to floors eventually.

    I dont see how you spent a lot on them.. you got riped off.. I had one given to me by my moms friend. he could get out of his cage.. he either ran away or died.. cause I had him for a while.. my mom said he must have got out at night but if he died she wouldnt have told me..
    Then I had another one.. he was like 10-15 dollars... the cages was like 15 bucks and it was bad ass.. then we moved a few years later.. I had to give him away.. later I had another one for 7 years! then he died but they are only supposed to last like 5 years soo it was ok =(.. but hamsters are realllllllllyyy cheap, cages, the stuff you put in it and food should only be like 50-75 bucks, thats with food for about a year, and cage filler for about 6-12 months

    Ms Mia- I don't mean to stress you out further, but you probably shouldn't waste too much time. Once rodents start fighting, it can escalate pretty quickly and unexpectedly. As in, eating parts of eachother, or coming home to a total bloodbath.

    If I were you, I'd get whatever kind of 2nd cage I could asap. Or create some sort of makeshift divider until you can find a better permanent solution.

    Yeah, rats can live together happily but pretty much every other small rodent males are impossible. I had a meander round the internet re: hamsters and apparently once they start, they're not going to stop.

    Unfortunately pet stores always rip people off with pets, they're being sold them for around what you'd pay from the classifieds or more, then marking that up. Frankly the whole thing's fucked, because it's [insert animal here] mills pumping out poor quality pets and selling them on to people who will sell them to anyone with the money, often in inadequate housing in the case of smallies.

    That's been my experience. I have generally found that same sex hampsters did well togeather, but there are always exceptions. Keeping hampsters of different sexes togeather doesn't work well. The female only tolerates the male if she is in heat. If not, she can get pretty aggressive with him. Once we were trying to breed a pair and thought the female was ready. We put her with the male and she seemed pretty receptive. He followed her around sniffing and licking. All the time she was going through his food stashes and stuffing them in her cheeks. Once she was done she suddenly "got a headache." Fortunately we were right there so we could seperate them before she did serious damage to her would be mate. I had to admire her piracy though.

    They have stopped fighting.... i am monitoring them constantly, keeping them by the bed till i can get the cage level expander.... The second wheel keeps them fairly happy

    I'm gonna cry when i have to seperate them tho....they just look so cute when they ball up next to eachother and sleep

    Aw, that's so sweet, you're a good hamster-mum. Cool to hear that with supervision they can do okay.
