It depends on the hamesters. Not all hamsters will get along. It is also important that you do not put male and female together unless you want babies or one is spayed/neutered. If you are going to try you need to monitor them closely and I would not leave them together over night. If they are doing well you can leave them together for longer periods of time. Some hamsters will have aggression when put together. Hope that helps
