Re: I'm a new owner and need help with my 2 dwarfs
Hi & welcome to HC
It's quite normal for a pair to each have their own characters & one is almost always more dominant than the other, if you only just got your hams then Snowball may still be settling in & gain more confidence with time, if she remains very timid & doesn't seem to be really thriving after a while then it may be that she would do better living on her own.
You do need two wheels, two water bottles, houses with at least two entrances & two bowls or better still scatter feed to allow both plenty of opportunity to get the food they need.
They really only drink a tiny amount, maybe a teaspoon a day at most, they don't eat much more than a teaspoon of food either really but you need to allow more so they can each make their own food hoard & it's generally better to put too much food in rather than not enough with a pair in case one is trying to hog it all!
