Making a bin cage is quite easy and there are lots of online tutorials on that. Scatter feed them (no bowls) and don't let them have small enclosed areas they can fight over as territory. Give them as deep litter as you can so they can burrow away from each other and they really need two of everything if you want to keep them together. One can also bully another and hog the food - is one smaller? http://www.hamstercentral.com/community/housing/ |
Yes one is smaller, which is the one beat up right now. I was checking out the housing pages to get ideas. So I kinda now have a idea of what your meaning. How deep should I be looking to make for them to create borrows?
