Default Re: Bin cages

Contrary to the common idea that big is always best, some people have had more success in keeping pairs in smaller cages as there is less space for them to fight over. However you will need to make sure that the cage is big enough to allow them to have a nest area each to retreat to if they need it. I found my pair snuggled up together most of the time but occasionally the less dominant one would have to sleep outside.

With pairs, I've found it better to provide one large pile of food on the substrate rather than food bowls which can cause squabbling as each tries to claim ownership of them.

What species of dwarf will you be getting?
