Default Re: I want a dwarf :/

I have three dwarfs and I've noticed that they all have their own personality. I have one in his own cage and two girlies in together. The girls have two separate beds but they happily sleep in one together at the moment. It's nice for them to be able to have somewhere to escape each other, just like humans! But I haven't noticed any aggressiveness.

They share a food bowl at the moment BUT I keep a close eye on them. At the first sign of any territorial behaviours I will add another one. They play fight and chatter away to each other at the moment and if I only pick up one it'll chatter and squeak until I pick the other up as well.

To be honest, I find I get on with them much more than Syrians. Syrians are lovely hamsters, but dwarfs in my experience are a lot more inquisitive and pleasing to watch. They keep you on your toes though so not ideal for young children.
