Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hamsters are territorial animals and will defend their home against intruders. If a second intruder arrives shortly after the first, the hamster will likely continue to defend its territory and attack the second intruder quickly and vigorously. This is because the hamster perceives its territory as being threatened and will continue to defend it until it feels safe.
