When Hamsters attack


Captain Hill roars

When buying hamsters it should be known that there are some (Syrian, the orange and white hamsters like Captain Hill) that can be very territorial. So if you're buying more than one make sure you have plenty of space. They may attack each other. With no where to keep to themselves a hamster may not only get injured by the other but may actually die resulting in what may not be very pleasing to younger eyes.

A habitrail comes in handy here, for if you suspect one hamster is not getting along you can separate the hamsters by sticking them in different parts of the cage with no connecting tunnel.
