Dwarf hamster - Company
Do dwarf hamsters need company?
Dwarf hamsters will often live happily in pairs – unlike golden hamsters, who must always be housed alone. You should check whether the type you have, or are thinking of getting, should be kept alone or with a partner.
Who should care for my hamsters if I go on holiday?
If you go away, you should leave your dwarf hamsters in the care of a trusted friend or neighbour. A small transport cage will allow you to transfer your hamsters safely.
