Question
my hamster lived with its sister then her sister died they have a large cage that i am off outto buy can i get a new friend for her

Answer
Hi,
thank you for your question.
Introducing dwarf hamster that come from different parents is very, very hard and I don't recommend it. Apart from that, while dwarf hamsters  live as breeding pairs in the wild,  keeping them as pairs of the same sex in captivity tends to end with fighting or hurt hamsters.
I hope I was of some help to you
