Duprasi are best kept alone in my opinion. They can be kept in pairs but it doesnt seem worth the risk of them falling out one day when they are perfectly content alone.

Mine live alone as they obviously breed and the females need to be alone when raising litters. I have one female who is content to spend the week with the male when they are put together for mating and the other female hates it! She stays away from him all week as best she can.

The ideal setup is a 2ft plastic tank. They are not chewers and they do not climb. They do use the space you give though and like a wheel

Never kept STO but there are people on here who have so hopefully will jump in with some info.
