Hi. It`s always better to have two cages when you keep a pair of dwarf hamsters because they are known for falling out a lot and keeping another tank or cage handy is really important in case they need splitting up quickly. This just means you have one and your brother has one. They can still be kept in the same room or separate rooms, but once they are separated, they must never meet again as this would only cause them stress and stress leads to illness in small animals.

It`s also important that parents are aware of this too because if they are probably responsible for buying the extra cage.
