i have to hamsters and they keep fighting. Yes i know, they should be seperated, please no negative comments. Its tooo late at niteto go buy another cage to seperate them, but i need to keep one aaway fromt he other. Pleas help em think of a way to amke a temporary home right now for the hamster whow as attacked!! Please no negative comments im just a kid and i dont know what to do!!!
:) aw mabye u can seperate the cage .. like put a board or sumthing in the middle of the cage and put one hamster on eat side
you should take one hamster out and put it in a box or cage . if you dont have that put it in a container with air holes :)
can you find a box that they can't climb over or get around to put in the middle of the cage for now?
Okay, calm down. I do understand.
First, if you have a Hamster Ball, use this for tonight. This will keep them apart.
If you do not have that: Try a strong piece of cardboard and place it in the cage as a wall.
If you do not have any wall (board) material, then place your hamster in the bathtub, and put a sign taped to the bathroom door. This will warn others in your family that there is a hamster in the tub. The tub walls are too slick for the hamster to climb, no worries.
If you only have a shower without a tub then place the hamster in the shower and close the door, and still put up a note.
I wish you each well.

I like animals
If you have other animals in your house, please do not use a card board box! Can you put one of the hamsters in the bathtub for the night? (Well, I have one of those deep tubs, so don't boo me!!). Okay, here's another suggestion (I'm thinking of the safety of the hamster), does your house have a "stand-up" shower, that has a glass door? Just trying to help!! lol I am TOTALLY CLUELESS...
How long have you had them?
When I first got my rat a new friend she totally dominated the other and was always beating her up. Now they are friends. Maybe let them duke it out for tonight or a few days. They won't usually seriously hurt each other. Sometimes my rats play fight because it's fun for them. My old hammies did the same thing. Just give it some time.

many rodent friends. : )
you need two containers. you have one...the cage. go in each room (start in the kitchen) and look for something big enough to house a hamster for one night. make sure you can allow air in without letting hamster out. put some bedding, food and especially water in there. leave one corner uncovered and bare of food etc (for hamster potty). put that container in the bathroom (second less used bathroom if you have one) or in a closet that can be closed (this so if the hamster gets out of your makeshift cage, he/she won't be able to get out into the house too.) go get the one that did the attacking and put it in the makeshift cage, close it so it can't get out, ensure air supply, close door.
go back to the original cage and attacked hamster and make sure there is plenty of water and an easy place for it to keep warm. if the room it's in is cold....double up on the bedding for warmth. this is against shock. place the water supply very close to the animal. make sure they are in heavily muted light, or better yet dark. keep noise away from the cage for a day or so or untill the critter is behaving normally.
in the morning things will sort themselves out.
Good luck

for a maximum of a few days a 5 gallon bucket with sum woodchips or wutever u use as bedding is ok but only until you get another tank/cage...or if you do not have a bucket then you can make a divider out of just about anything cardboard, wood, etc.
experience
Find a cardboard box, put some bedding food and water if possible, in there and put one in there until you can buy another cage. Or put something in the cage splitting it in to two parts for each of them.
