Can my two male syrian hamsters live in the same room in different cages?

I have 2 male hamsters in different cages, their cages are right opposite each other in the same room. One of hamsters seems to be a little bit nervous however this could just be him getting used to his new home although i have had him since 15th May 2008. I got them both at the same time from the same pet shop where they were housed together. Should I keep them in separate rooms or will they be okay?

Is a Campbells Dwarf Hamster different from a russian dwarf or are all dwarf hamsters the same?

I ask because I read that campbells dwarf hamsters are prone to diabetes so should not be given fruit. Wondering if the same holds true for russian dwarf.

Why does the price for adopting a pet range in different areas?

For instance, we used to live in a huge city area in Florida and the adoption fee was $50.

We’ve recently moved to a different state and the adoption fee in the local shelters is anywhere from $70 to $150!! It’s outrageous!
