Two sirians living together

Question
I got two female sirian hamsters a little while ago (they were two sisters named Bambi and thumper). Sadly Thumper died leaving her sister all alone. My parents said that I could get another one if I wanted. I have read about not putting two sirian hamsters together but it worked so well with them being related. I just don't want my little Bambi to be lonely.

Answer
Hi Amie

I'm sorry to hear about Thumper.

Please don't try to introduce another hamster to Bambi - Syrians are solitary creatures and if you put another one with her they will fight and this could result in serious injury or worse. I think you were lucky that Bambi and Thumper got on so well but this is very unusual.

Bambi will be fine on her own.
