Default Re: Winter white's together?

Winter Whites can live together in some situations but there is no guarantees that they will always get a long or be able to live together indefinitely so it's always worth having a spare cage available in case they do fall out.

Keeping pairs takes some work to minimise the risks of them squabbling which includes providing houses/nest boxes with two exits and it is often thought to be better to scatter feed them rather than using food bowls s they can become possessive over those, even when two are privided. Some people advise having a large cage to allow for the extra toys but others have found that a larger space can actually encourage them to become more territorial as they have more space to fight over. I personally wouldn't want to be going anything much bigger than 70x40cm for a pair but that's just my own preference.

You'll need to look out for any signs of bullying such as a large difference in weights between the two of them, any bites or wounds or patches of fur loss.
