Wednesday, October 5, 2011. Unlike the Syrians, dwarf hamsters are sociable and can exist peacefully both in the wild and in captivity. They do well when paired up young and allowed to mature together. Just prior to giving birth, the female Siberian, Chinese dwarf and Roborovski will chase the male from the nest for a few days of bachelorhood. It isnt very long however before he becomes a valuable contributor in assisting with the little ones. Their hamsters all right! .
