Do hamsters enjoy being alone or do they like company
Nothing enjoys being alone! Hamsters are very social animals. Althought some may be alright by themselves, having a friend will keep them occupied and happy for the times that you are not able to spend with them. Make sure you get one of the same gender.
i've heard that syrian hamsters can actually kill another hamster if caged together.

Hamsters are solitary animals. They do not want or need company.
Dwarfs are supposed to be more social, but mine have always fought.
Syrian, Teddy Bear, and Black Bear hamsters MUST be kept alone.
They are cannabalistic and will fight to the death. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Unless it is a dwarf hamster, do not house more than 1 hamster together as they are very soilitary and territorial animals and one of them will eventually end up dead.
