So Lizziey got two new hamsters.

Male and female.

When I mentioned this, she said she'll just bring the babies back to the store, that the salesperson told her to do this.

Hamsters eat their babies, don't they? And are terribly unsocial, right?

Yeah, this is gonna end well.

Sometimes dwarf hamsters can be kept together if they were raised together, but even then it's recommended to keep an eye on them.

Syrians (the type which are most commonly sold in pet stores) definitely shouldn't be kept together. They fight a lot. I didn't know that until after I brought my 2 two home. They woke me up at 3am making this horrible screeching sound at each other and fighting like crazy so I had to separate them.

The only time mine ever bit me were when my hands smelled like food. :P
