I've 3 dwarf hamsters, 2female & a male.

females:1 is 1month plus old, 1 is near 1month
male:near 1month

is it possible to keep them together? Very very seldom i see them fighting.

are they all same breed? siblings? better dun keep male and female togetehr no matter what.. usually when they're abt 3 mths then u can find out whether they can stay together.. but no females and males togetehr unless u wan a LOT of hammies~

ya they're siblings & same breed dwarf. e male &
1 of e female tt is near a month old are e 3rd batch of hamsters while e older female is e 2nd batch. but if i continue to keep them together now will there be a problem?

Oh ya & e younger female is very very hyper active. Even when e other 2 are sleeping, it keep running around trying to get out of the cage. & any ways to make them don't bite? They just came into my house 2days ago. Is it because they came into a new environment & have a new owner tt's why they bite?

yes bro they're not used to u or your scent.. so they are defensive.. usually we dun advise owners to pick their hamster up in the first few days.. just pu ur hand in the cage or sth.. no fast movements etc. just let them get used to u..

haha some hammies are hyper one.. but no worries.. they'll settle.. its not good to put different sexes together.. and yours will be worst as inbreeding is not a good thing... most of the time. so unless u wan 60 hammies are one year ya~ again dun put them together.. females u see if can stay together then can stay.. some squeeks and all are normal but if go blood or wounds.. then better separate and dun introduce them agaiN~

I wish I have seen NightRaven advise much much earlier... one of my less than 2-month old dwarf hamsters got into a really bad fight with a older dwarf hamster and has sadly passed on last night. I thot as long as they have grown up together in the same cage since young, they wouldn't hurt eachother... How wrong am I.

Can anyone kindly educate me how to determine if the hamster a female or male, please?

haha i have the pics in a thread somewhere...

but anyhow.... u just have to flip the hammie over to see. depending on how old the hammies is then we can more easily determine. er... shall i go on?

haha.... thanks but no thanks. I found it in one of the website.
