I would never attempt keeping a pair personally as they are just too volatile. Cage size could have an impact and my feeling is the larger the cage, the more chance they will bicker over that territory, so it`s arguable what is the best size for a pair. I would be happy keeping a pair in a Zoozone 1. Usually used for a single dwarf hamster normally, but if you have two silent spinner wheels or good wheels in there, the wheels allow the hamsters to run off their excess energy and they still have space to forage about, play and have one shoe box nest at one end with doors cut into it, so their nest would be spacious as well.

If your sure you want a pair, I would look at the long term and still have a spare Mini Duna or another Zoozone 1 just in case they ever fall out. Meaning, both hamsters would then have a similar home in the end. The Zoozone 1 is around £31.00 online. Or just go for the single hamster and save yourself the stress! x
