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!

Re: Introducing two dwarf hamster sisters after a week
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.
