Will two male Roborovski dwarf hamsters get along in one cage?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Male | unneutered

I have read online that two male Robveroski dwarf hamsters may be kept together if they are watched closely to prevent fights. Is this true? I have one male (Mikey) and I was considering getting another one. If I watch them closely to make sure they get along is that okay?

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately if the hamsters were not raised together, it is not likely that they will get along and very possible they will fight and injure eachother. I would be nervous that you are not able to watch them at all times and they could fight and hurt one-another. https://www.petco.com/content/petco/PetcoStore/en_US/pet-services/resource-center/caresheets/dwarf-hamster.html
