We did it, we got more hamsters

As per my previous discussion pertaining to craziness, I am officially crazy. We picked up the hamsters today. 2 were already spoken for, and one decided to bite me, so we settled on 5 hamsters to bring home. They're all settling in quite nicely, but the one that was uprooted from the cage isn't too happy right now. Now we have 11 hamsters, but who knows how long we'll have them all as some of the older ones are older. The new ones are so cute, they're mixed Syrian/Pandabears. They're only 5 weeks old, so I know they can live together for a while.

awwww... but syrians tend to fight when they're adult. that's why syrians must live in solitary cage. though it really depends on their personality.

They're now about 4 months old and only one has been moved from the cage, but the other 4 are still living together in peace.

that's nice :) but if one of your hamster bit another hamster put him/her in another cage. or it might injure the other hamsters badly

Aw cute! Just make sure to separate them by sexes so you don't end up with more. I don't remember how many days it is when you separate hamsters, but I think if they're 5 weeks old they should be separated by sexes by now if you haven't already done so.
