Answer
Dear Kesha,
  
    I personally like two females because they get a long much better that males two males get very aggressive. Or a male and a female which doesn't always work out , but if you get them spayed and neutered hopefully it will work out the #1 choice for me is 2 femailes. These critters do take at least 45 minutes of your time a day they need to be held played with groomed fed and need fresh water daily so if you have about 1-3 hours a day for them you are all set!

     Good Luck,
