Chinese Dwarf Hampster

Question
My ten week old chinese hampsters ( 2 x female sisters) are constantly fighting - is this normal behaviour? Would you recommend they be separated?  Look forward to hearing from you.

Answer
hi kim,

sometimes same sex hamsters cant be together, either they have  not been born together, or bought from seperate cages. the only other explanation is that one may infact be male, you should take them to the vets or another pet store to be propperly sexed. if hamsters are always fighting, then yes, im afraid you must seperate them, as they will fight to the death.

good luck and thank you for your question. please feel free to ask again and let me know how you get on.
