Pairs do generally get on better in a slightly smaller cage than a single dwarf as it gives them less to become territorial over but many pairs fight as they mature & do need to be separated which would leave you needing two cages, possibly slighter larger than the one you have now.
You need that spare cage ready from the start really too as fighting can break out at any time & escalate quickly.



This is the cage I currently have, is it okay? Is it better for one or two dwarves? or is it not suitable?

I know there isn't a lot of toys inside but that's because she gets stressed if her space is cluttered with stuff. I place her in a sperate box with toys for to play with.
