is there any mammal that you can keep in a 2ftx2ftx2ft glass tank?

I agree. Degu's prefer to live in groups of 2-4 at least and that size tank would be way too small.

African pygmy dormice(micro squirrels) I have some of these and they are well cute

Hi there, a tank that size is not quite big enough for gerbils - the recommended sizes start at 3ft. they would get depressed in a small tank like that and you'd end up having to have them out of the tank (on sofa or floor) for long periods of time (making any kind of staying away from home difficult). with degus, they are quite a lot bigger than gerbils and they need a huge cage. they are very cute but need to live in groups of 3 or 4 and would not even fit in your tank.

I agree with others - you're best off with a single hammy or a small colony of mice.

guess its just a case of luck, i personally would never keep 2 robos together again, as i would rather never have to see one in the state i did again

...then you've been lucky so far. Finger crossed you continue to be.

I've known of large colonies living successfully for a number of generations and then randomly, one day, with no apparent reason, on morning the cage looked like something out of a teenaged horror flick....

Hamsters are odd, one day fine, the next they'll eat their mate, their siblings and their babies all in one night......


Mice FTW!

There's a special place for aggressive, unsocailable or infertile mice/rats in our house....



...in the rep room

A tank of that size is big enough for a pair of gerbils but no more than that
