I have tried ringing the pet shop where I got Spike to see if his brother was still there and the woman said she didn't know anything about any hamsters. So I am going into town tomorrow anyway and I was considering popping in and checking. Now the problem is, if he is still available and I get him they will have been apart two days, what is the chance of me reintroducing them without fighting. I have spare cages but the other cages have 1cm bars and I don't know if they are too wide. I am really worried that I will end up with two hamsters that hate each other and nowhere to put one of them. Opinions please.

1cm is quite big but think would be okay! mine are all 7mm.

What species are they? Hamsters in the long run probably won't stay together.

You can try to reintroduce but I think after a while they'll get a bit miffed with each other.

I would get him, and then if they need splitting up then it needs to be done, but you still have a cutee ball of fluff!

I didn't intend to get Spike but they literally said it doesn't matter if I gave him a good home as long as they got rid of them, so when my OH found out he was not very pleased if I start getting another cage out he will flip, I think I can get away with another hamster in the same cage because he probably won't even notice. Oh we think Spike is a Campbells but the girlin the shopsaid he was a chinese.

I don't think they would get out of a cage with 1cm bars - my two russians are in cages which are plastic and part bars and they are 1cm apart and they have been in these cages from being babies and never got out.


Aww I hope you get his brother - they are beautiful hamsters.

Naughty Char keeping ppl up!!

Don't know about hamsters..was just looking at ur thread...hope u get him cos the woman doesn't sound like she cares.

Molly stay up with me as well!! LOL

I would get him, sounds like they know nothing if they can't even get the breed right! From that piccy he is a campbells dwarf.... nothing like a chinese!! LMAO He looks like my Maisie!

I'm waiting for a flight that leaves at 6am uk time and I need someone to keep me awake till I get on the plane and zzzzzzzz!

mad:She says Spike is a girl, and there are no girls left, only boys. But they have let the parents get pregnant again so I can have another girl in 3 weeks and apparently they will get on because Spike is only about 4 weeks old. I'm worried with them giving themaway free that they will go to the wrong types of homes if you know what I mean. Gonna try him out in the bigger cage today and I should be able to see what he/she looks like with the bars. Hopefully get some better piccies as well.
