Campell's are sociable animals, and enjoy the company of other hamsters. They will live quite happily in pairs, but fighting can occur, and they may need to be seperated.
Roborovski's
Roborovski's are the smallest of the hamsters that we have as pet's, and the fastest. They are not pet's that are very easilly handleable. You can train them, but it takes a long time. They are more for just watching. They are also colony animals and can be kept in groups. Care still must be taken in case fighting occurs.
Rat-Like Hamsters.
Chinese
Probably one of the most difficult hamster to keep in pairs and breed in captivity. These are my favorite hamster. They can be kept in pairs, but they can also be extremely agressive towards one another, and may have to be seperated.
