Often, when there are more than one member in the cage, it could happen to arise quarrels
between the hamsters about some appetizing pieces of food and sometimes this could lead even to fights. For this reason, you must ensure the correct cutting of the food and also to
prepare a bigger bowl because hamsters love to dig in their meal, looking for tasty pieces and that's why the bowl is so important when you are breeding 2 animals or more.
