What cage size are they used to? If they've been in a smaller cage until now than the larger cage could be a bit stressful for them along with the move to a new home.
If you don't have any levels in the cage, no shelves or ledges, & have plenty of little hideout places (always with more than one exit) they may be ok. It's very hard to be sure with pairs though, many do fall out as they mature so be prepared just in case.

They've been in a much smaller cage (below the minimum I think) for, I'm assuming, they're whole life. I always do quite natural themes so there is always loads of hides and toys and never really many large open spaces for them to get freaked out in.
I'm very happy to separate them if I see any squabbling and I don't really mind if they stay as a pair or not. I will just have to wait and see!
Thanks for the advice, sounds like they'll probably be separated but you never know!
