You’ve thought the set up out to avoid then falling out so fingers crossed. Any sign of squabbling or one getting bigger than the other then best to separate.

When fully grown then the bar spacing should be ok but a small Robo could get stuck in 1cm bars - if they are silly enough to try and squeeze through them - but they grow to full size quickly .
Thank you for the advice! No signs of squabbling or dominance yet. They eat, sleep and play together. Do you know the rough age when the hormones do kick in? They are sharing most things, but have 2 of each anyway.
