Today's was the worst fight ever. I didn't see it coming, in fact everything was just fine when I was playing with them. Few seconds after I left everyone heard alarming squeaks from the cage. It even took me a little longer to break up the fight than any fights in the past. Lulu had a bloody finger from the encounter. Lucy was so scared she pooped when Lulu was charging onto her. But I held Lulu back before any more harm could be done. I don't know how it started, just sad and worried it did. I'm considering getting another cage tomorrow. Syrian hamsters are solitary animals, I just don't know when the next fight's going to occur, and whether or not it's going to be fatal. I put a some medicament on Lulu's injury, was no easy task trying to hold her still.
They are back to normal life now. It is as if no scuffle had ever taken place. But the image of Lucy defecating, fear etched on her face; and poor Lulu licking her wounded finger reminds me that not everyday can be cheerful in a hamster's cage.
