Domestic Violence at Home

Nic had the unfortunate experience of having to witness domestic violence right under our humble roof. Yes, the cutie pie hamsters, one male and one female had a rather violent fight, which ended with one of the hammies having a little wound on the back, and some of its furs on its leg being chomp off. Its quite a pitiful sight. The wounded party has been awfully quiet, and sleeping quite a bit, while the other hammie is nonchalent, and have been rather active going about its regular activities. i am not too sure what to do with them. i have since separated them, one is living in the cage, while the wounded hammie is now recovering in an empty ice-cream tub. Gonna pop by the pet shop tomorrow to see what i can get for the wounded hammie.

Oh, and did I mention that the wounded hammie is the male. And as they say...the female of the species is more deadlier than the male

How old are your hamsters? Pregnant female hamsters tends to be more violent.

Hey, thanks for your advice. Its probably less than a year old. The female hammie seems really territorial, and have been hiding food among the bedding. Anyway, the hammie is alone in its own cage now
