I also blame pet stores for unknowingly advising certain species to be kept in pairs or colonies. My chinese were told to me were a dwarf species that like to live in groups. Which I know now is wrong, the female we bought was pregnant and within 2 weeks we had 9 little pink jelly beans in the cage. It was a wire cage and a couple escaped before 3 weeks and met their doom with my cat. Was not a nice experience but was a learning one.
