Occasionally we had demon hamsters which attacked us but on the whole they were friendly little chaps and chapesses.

I had two russians and one ate the other when I was about 10yr old.
I used to work in a pet shop and we get trained on this sort of thing and what we should and shouldn't sell. Most hamsters are potentially cannibalistic towards eachother once they reach maturity and any decent pet shop wont sell you two together unless you have a very large cage that gives them their own space and reduces the risk of dominant behaviour.
