Should I get a second dwarf hamster? Will it need a separate cage?

Question

I brought a dwarf winter white hamster in March I am thinking about adopting a less fortunate dwarf hamster but what type should I get without causing any stress to my existing hamster or should I just buy another cage?

There are certain hamsters that will tolerate one another, but in general, they are solitary. The safest option would be to have two cages for the hamsters. This would be especially important in case there is a male and a female or two males. I hope that this gives you a place to start!
