Default Re: Roborovski's and cage size

Most of my pairs and groups have been hybrids but I've had a fair bit of success with those long term (including a trio of females who were together for life and a pair of males who were really, really close and even passed away on the same day). I've heard of people trying roborovski groups and I'm sure I've heard of pairs doing well long term, I can't remember how the robo groups I've read about worked long term but I wouldn't see much harm in trying groups if you wanted to. With that said, there is always more potential for trouble in a group (more hams to take a dislike to each other) and it can be really, really difficult deciding how to separate a group if trouble does break out. If you try and keep pairs or groups then you will need to be careful, but I'm sure you already know that.

This is the kind of 70 x 40 tank style that KD mentions

Cage Duna Multy

You couldn't really stack them as they are top opening, but they'd sit quite well on a shelf unit - this kind of thing

If you don't mind a bit of diy, some people make bin cages from these ikea samla bins, which are a similar size.

Obviously they'd need to be single sex groups or they'd keep breeding!
