Default Can they hear each other?

Hiya, I have two male syrians that are kept downstairs at night... Hammibal is quite hyper and noisy - it doesn't bother him if he hears noises outside of his cage but Dusty is very quiet and stays very still for a long time whenever he hears the slightest noise (which is all the time with Hammibal around!)

Whenever I see Dusty at night he seems to be very aware of the noises coming from across the other side of the room made by Hammibal and I was just wondering whether he might be able to smell him and if he's scared of him? Dusty isn't the most active of hammies anyway but I think it might be more than just laziness!


Any ideas?

i think they are aware of other hams, but i don't think it bothers them as the other ham isn't in their territory. Mine go up to each other in balls and sniff and seem fine with one another, because they are in their own little zones.

I am pretty sure they know each other are there as they can smell each other. females will sort of squeak.chuff for males when they are in season and if a males smells another male on you they will sometimes chatter their teeth!
