Separate those hamsters AT ONCE before they kill each other.

Since you didn't bother to tell us what kind of hamsters they are I will assume they are Syrians, and they must NOT be kept together.

That is basic care information.

I suggest you start reading up oin hamster care as you wait for more responses. What you said was so little and non-speicific I can hardly comment further except to say mine do that when hot - lie on the sides or back and sleep.

BTW, even dwarf hamsters have to be separated when they fight.
