Hamsters will kill their companions, especially male hamsters in estrus, who are likely to bite, fight and other behaviors, and severe cases will lead to death. Therefore, when raising hamsters, they need to be raised separately. They can only be mixed when mating, and they should be isolated immediately after mating.

Reasons why hamsters kill their companions

1. When hamsters are too hungry, they will kill and eat their companions to maintain their lives.

2. During pregnancy, female hamsters will bite male hamsters if they are malnourished.

3. If a certain hamster is weak, it may bid farewell to other hamsters being bitten.

4. Hamsters have a very strong sense of territory, and will attack if there is an invasion of the same kind.

5. Hamsters are very protective of food. If someone of the same kind competes with it for food, it may kill the other party.

6. Hamsters are in estrus, and if there is an imbalance in mating, they will also fight.
