Re: Housing a pair of dwarf hamsters
Just the one is good. Living in a pair is unnatural and forces them to live in a stressful environment. They are not social animals so having them live together is a huge danger with no real benefit as they do thrive alone. Not to mention a 40 gallon would be on the small side for a pair imo, it is about the smallest you would want to go for a single dwarf. Setting up the cage with 2 of everything realistically doesn’t do an awful lot to ‘guarantee’ that they stay together. A pair of dwarfs is always cute to look at but just not in their best interests I’m afraid.
