Cohabiting Syrians

[chloere93]

Hello all,

I'm aware that as a general rule you should not home 2 Syrians together because of fighting and aggression in adulthood.

I have a Qute hamster cage sold by Omlet and wanted to buy a second one and join them together by a ferplast tube via the wires.

In this instance would it be safe to home 2 Syrians 'together' in the sense that their cages would be connected but they would still be able to have their own space in the individual cages.

I'm looking to breed Syrians so this would be an ideal set up for me so that I can let nature take it's course as it were. Just to be clear, I would disconnect the tubes after arrival of the babies and leave the mother to look after them.

I don't know if anyone has any experience in doing this with hamsters, I know keeping them in a confined cage together is never a good idea but wasn't sure whether this would give them enough space that they could potentially cohab.

Any advice would be appreciated
