Question
Hi!,
Me and my sister are getting russian dawrf hams.My friend has a male and we were planning to have mini hamham playdates. Would a male and a male get along or a female and a male?

From,
Lindsey (10)

Answer
All dwarfs should get along, the only real factor is age. Sometimes an older dwarf may not get along with a younger one, but it wouldn't matter if it was a boy or girl. I would get all males if that is what your friend has, because the female could easily get pregnant, and you would have to find homes for all the baby hamsters. That's a lot of work to do, so I would just get some males.
