Question
hi, today i bought 3 chinese hamsters, all feMALE in same cage, and i was wondering if you could tell me anything about them because there isnt really that much information on them and i want to know if they will be able to stay together.

Answer
Hamsters are great pets. Some information includes that they must be fed every day or every other day, depending on how  much they would consume, they should be taken out of their cage at least once a day to get used to them, be very gentle and never squeeze them, make sure they are eating/drinking daily, and if you see anything strange, write to me and I'll help you out. Unfortunately, hamsters are very territorial. It would not be the best idea to keep them all in the same cage as they will most likely get hurt or maybe even die. I have heard cases of hamsters actually eating each other. GOOD LUCK! I hope you enjoy your new pets!

Regards,
Sam
