Today, I thought my hamster might be lonely, so I went to the pet shop and bought a new one to keep him company. The new hamster killed the old one. FML

One time I brought a new girl home to keep the old one company. She didn't like it so much either :/

It's uncommon knowledge that hamsters are territorial.

Either you did that on purpose or you're completely retarded. Your general knowledge is pathetic.

You have have googled what would happen. -_- totallyyyy your fault. Hampster killer.

This is why morons shouldn't own pets.

YDI for being a complete idiot and not researching the pet you own. Syrian hamsters are solitary, full stop. They can live together until a certain age, usually 6-8 weeks and after that they are just a time bomb. Dwarf hamsters can live together, but even if you have two siblings you are not guaranteed that they will live peacefully, I know several people who've had one of their robos kill its "friend". Even with social rodents such as mice and rats, you can't just plonk another in the others territory, you have to introduce them properly and be prepared to put a lot of time into it, some animals will just never get on.
