my dwarf hamsters fighting

I bought 2 female russian dwarf hamsters the other day, and put them together in a cage. They had been fine untill this morning they had a fight and I dont know if it was a serious fight or play. I noticed on one of them she had a cut on her foot off the other hamster, i dont know what to doo seperate them or buy a bigger cage?

Re: my dwarf hamsters fighting

I dont have any but from what Ive read they can be very terratorial and you need to have 2 of everything in the cage, even then they may still fall out and need seperate cages.

Re: my dwarf hamsters fighting

I had 3 dwarf hammies together, they started off fine and then one day totally out of the blue 2 of them started picking on the other 1
I asked for advice and was told that if they are play fighting that's ok but as soon as there is blood (not play fighting anymore) to seperate them.
So I had to seperate the 1 boy and rush out and buy a new cage for him.

I know dwarf hamsters are territorial like the above poster said.
If I were you I would hurry up and seperate them before the one with the cut foot gets hurt any further.
