if the are sociable enough. try introducing them to each other for a certain period of time, let them be comfortable around each other. Then only you can put them together.

But i must warn you, they might fight to their deaths, so do keep an i on them.

Sorry I don’t think so, i have 2 robos, because its and execption to having 2 but many pet stores say that they need to be sold in two because they’re social but its only an execption…They’re very territorial so they would probably kill eachother….

They are a boy and girl so i dont see why not might try letting them play some place safe together like a tub something they can get out of and get hurt.Watch them and see how they acts. Just remember they can make babies lol lol good luck with your fur children …..

No. Robos with robos and Winter whites with winter whites. A different breed of hamsters should never be together. Except for Syrian hamsters. They are loners. That means they can’t live with others.

Not a good idea unless you bought them at the same time and introduced them to each other the first week you got them.

Yes, I myself have hairless, albino and dumbo rats all in the same cage and everybody’s quite happy.

Ok, hamster lover….. Two differ kinds of hamster will have a trouble!!!!!

For example a campbell and a robo. A robo will try to act like a campbell so they can have friends.

Quite hard, isn’t it????

no, if they breed they can be more likely to die of disease.

no, they’ll fight.

As a general rule it is advised against. They will see each other as competitors for food and nesting space and will probably fight. There are exceptions to every rule. But it isn’t recommended for them to share a cage.By the way, a Roborovski and Winter White can’t breed and make babies. A Campbells and a Winter White can, and the babies are hybrids. Too many hamsters sold as Winter Whites in the United Utates are really hybrids.
