Question
Will having two hamsters make them less interactive with us?

Answer
hi gina,

like most small animals and birds, if there are 2 of them then yes, they prefer to spend time with each other rather than with us, however if you handle them regularly, seperately and together, theres no reason why they would be apprehensive or scared when you handle them :)

best of luck and thanks for your question, please ask again if you need to and let me know how you get on.
