Just to point out, as a forum we don't have a minimum recommendRd size. And I know that while bigger may be better in some cases, a very large cage can lead to more fighting with a pair. My understanding is it can lead to more territorial behaviour if there is too much space. And yes, as SKB said, it's gee really felt best to have two of everything for a pair - two bottles, two bowls, two wheels, houses with more than one entrance etc. But even following these guidelines does not guarantee that you will have a pair who will live successfully together. It takes very little for one to become dominant & for them to fight. The other thing I think it's important to bear in mind is that while dwarf species are often sold as sociable animals in pairs, that actually, unlike say gerbils or Guinea pigs, they don't need a cage mate. So don't feel like you have to get two. loolong forward to seeing your new little furry pal or pals when you get them!
