Hi, this is a re-introduction
I recently purchased a pair of female Chinese hamsters. I know that it is not recommended to keep Chinese in pairs (especially females) but I let the store manager talk me into it They are about 4-5 mo old now and have been together since birth.
There names are Mylie and Kylie. Mylie as a short stubby tail from a possible birth mark. Kylie is much quieter and reserved than Mylie who is very outgoing. I'm hoping there different personalities will complement each other.
So I'm debating on whether to leave them in the 10 gal that they are in currently or upgrade them to the 15 gal. In the 15 gal there is more space to be territorial over but on the positive side there would be more room for toys for an enriched lives, especially as they grow. This upgrade will be in less than 2 weeks from now.
Mylie drinks a ton of water as I can hear it in my bedroom. It wakes me up a little when I'm sleeping. They live in my bedroom in case there is ever a fight in the night. So it's a little bit of a stressful situation as they can be diabetes prone as well, but I'm hoping their relationship will be unusual and that they will live happy & healthy together
