Default Introducing two dwarf hamster sisters after a week

Hello, I got two new baby girls last week and had a few questions. I took them home together in the same carry-on cage and also at the breeder, they seemed happy together in the same cage together. I separated them when I got home into two different tanks because a 30 gallon tank is DEFINITELY not big enough for both of them. Today is my clean out day, and I put my hamsters in a huge homemade playpen while i clean them out with toys and everything like that, and I was really hoping to keep them together in the same playpen and hoped that they were still friends. Obviously, I will separate them if they fight, but I was wondering if I still had any good chances of them still being friendly towards each other, or good tips on how to introduce them correctly. Thanks so much!

Congrats on your two new girls!
Now you've separated them you need to keep them apart all the time, a they get older the chances of them fighting will increase & being put back together in the playpen now they're living apart will be very stressful for them.
Just get one out at a time now.
If you only got them last week you really don't need to be doing any cleaning out yet, for at least a few weeks just clean any pee you find but leave everything else so they can settle in & everything in the cage gets their scent on so they feel safe & secure.
Even after the first few weeks you never need to a full cage clean, just do a little at a time & always replace some of the nest material & food hoard when you do those areas.
