Bear Two

Can two black bear hamsters live together?

I have one male black bear hamster, and he has a huge cage that is about 3 ft tall and 2ft wide, with 3 floors. he seems real lonely and i was wondering how he would do if we got another male black bear hamste that was maybe his same age. he is about 7 months old now.

NO! Absolutely DO NOT get another hamster. Black bear hamster is a breed of Syrian hamster, which are solitary and fiercely territorial. Though young hamsters may get along for a short period of time, once they go through their hormonal changes and become adults, an instinct kicks in within their brain that tells them to guard their property and attack any other hamster within range. If your hamster is 7 months old, he is already an adult and will likely attack and possibly KILL (or be killed by) another hamster. Please, please, please do not put two Syrian hamsters together. If he seems lonely, take him out to play more often, set up a fun obstacle course or shoebox play pen and exercise his body and mind-- hide treats for him to find, etc.
