Advice. Female russian white hamster.?

I got a russian white female hamster 2 months ago. Gorgeous, curious beautiful Named Munchies. I see them active at the petstore, and mine goes nuts at night ( i know they are nocturnal) I am wondering if getting her a female pal, to have a buddy. Would it be okay. Anyone has done this before? I have read that they are the social ones out of the hamsters. Thank you all in advance.Advice. Female russian white hamster.?
DWARF HAMSTERS ARE VERY SOCIAL CREATURES AND THEY CAN LIVE WITH OTHER DWARFS HAMSTERS AND THEY ACTUALLY ENJOY THE COMPANY. I WOULD SUGGEST I YOUNGER FEMALE COMPANION(NOT TO YOUNG) THEN MUNCHIES WON'T FEEL TO THREATENED. THEY MAY FIGHT AT FIRST BUT IT WILL BE OKAY JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THEM FOR ANY OVER VIOLENT BEHAVIOR, BUT I THINK IT WILL BE JUST FINE.





I HAD A MALE DWARF FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS THEN INTRODUCED HIS FEMALE PARTNER WHICH WAS A BIT YOUNGER THAN HIM AND THEY GOT ALONG PERFECT AND NOW ARE THE BEST OF FRIENDS.





GOOD LUCK IT WILL WORK OUT JUST FINE.Advice. Female russian white hamster.?
Um I don't think you should get a ';buddy'; for your hamster because they might fight. In PetCo. where I got my hamster I was going to buy 1 cage and put 2 in them but the employee suggested that I shouldn't because if you put 2 females together they will fight and kill each other. If you put 1 male and 1 female in one cage they will most likely fight or mate/make babies. Giving them a buddy isn't as safe but if you do buy a buddy for your hamster, make sure you watch them all the time. When you're not watching them I suggest you separate them.





Good luck.
I am experienced in Dwarf Hamsters and hold a pet store management certificate in animal care.


You may not be able to introduce another now, but you can try.


A mate should come from the same litter/batch as they may end up fighting if you choose a different batch as the hamster you have got will not recognize the litter smell and class it as a intruder and there will be a death eventually
well it depends cus i got a hamster and i thought it would be ok to get a new 1 but in the end they just faught and my new 1 died
if she is young i would go for it its just when a hamster is about 5 or 6 months is when they fight and hurt each other just make sure you get the same kind because she might not get along with other kinds





hope everything works out
