My b/f and I lost our last hamster about 3 weeks ago.. About a week ago he was ready to adopt a new one. He looked online and the ones he wrote to were either was already rehomed or that never replied, so he gave up knowing this would be the first Christmas since 2003 without a hamster. But what he didn't know is that I went behind his back, I went onto petfinders and found 3 dwarf hamsters up adoption at a shelter.. I wrote to them and they where still there.. So I went and got them. BOY was he surprised when he got back from work and I told him to follow me. There is 1 girl (Lily-Rose)and 2 males Rocky and (Apollo now Bullwinkle). The males they say are bitter but they haven't bit so far. The 2 males are together so we have to watch them to make sure they don't fight..Here are the pictures

So cute!! :)

How large are their cages? Hamsters can fight as you stated in your post, so it's important to aim for 700+ sq. inches for a pair (equivalent to a 40 gallon breeder tank). Also, you'll want two of everything; wheels, huts, etc. And for one hamster you'll want at least 360 sq. inches - I'm not sure from the pictures if you have any attachments to the cages, but they appear to be habitrails, which are much too small alone.

Stylish, but not appropriate as a pet cage. You want at least 360 square inches for the single girl and at least 700 for the pair. This cage is not large enough and it has wire flooring on the top level, which is unsafe. I would suggest a 40 gallon breeder tank for the boys and a 20 gallon long tank for the girl.

Thank you for the info! Hamsters are new territory for me!
