To try and keep a pair together successfully, as some pairs do fall out and need separating, I would advise the following...
Big cage, with plenty of space. No levels or platforms. No houses with only one entrance/exit as one may trap the other one in there. Biiiig sand bath with plenty of room for both of them to fit in. Scatter feed rather than using a food bowl so that one can't claim the bowl/food as their own. 2 identical wheels next to each other will also help so there is nothing to fight over. Personally I don't give them a house, I just give them a big pile of bedding for them to make an open nest wherever they want to.

Do bear in mind that you could follow any advice given on keeping a robo pair happy and living peacefully but some simply fall out anyway to the point of not being able to live together any more. Therefore having a spare cage is also advised should you need it, especially as things can escalate quickly sometimes.

Where are you thinking of getting a pair from?

I have a pair of males that prefer their wheels and sandbath at opposite sides !! hehehehehe !
