Answer
Hi Joelle,

    Teddy bear hamsters are a type of Syrian hamster.
These types of hamsters are solitary and territorial, which means they like being in their own cage. They may tolerate other hamsters when they are young, but by the time they reach 8-10 weeks old, territorial fighting usually starts and may be fatal. So it is best not to put two of them in the same cage.
