Default Re: 2 dwarfs in detolf

A detolf is quite a good size for two, ideally for a pair you want one large space without shelves or levels & the detolf is good for that, you need to have two of everything basically, two wheels, water bottles, at least two houses with more than one exit & scatter feeding rather than using bowls can all help to prevent them falling out, even with the best precautions that can still happen though so you do have to be prepared with a spare cage or a means of dividing the detolf if that occurs.
Any particular reason you're thinking of getting a pair?
If you are fairly new to hams in general & dwarf hams in particular then it might be worth considering just starting with one, with lots of toys & hideouts the detolf would make a great cage for a single dwarf, they live very happily alone & it gives you a greater opportunity to interact with them, a lot less stress with not having to monitor behaviour & keeping an eye out for fighting too! If you have more experience & think you can cope with a pair then just ignore me
