Re: Pairing dwarfs
Unfortunately there's no way to really guarantee your paired dwarf hamsters would never fight. It's an extremely unnatural living situation for various species that just don't have the social drive that other animals such as guinea pigs or rats have, so more often than not they end up having some problem that makes it necessary for them to be split up anyways. To put things more into perspective, social interactions in the wild are for breeding purposes which obviously we don't want to be dealing with as pet owners since we'd have endless baby hamsters.
Considering how unnatural it would be for two dwarf hamsters to live together and all the potential negative responses(stress which leads to a lower immune system and potential illness, fighting, death, etc) I would strongly suggest just not doing it ever.
