When first itroducing them, I would put (2) cages next one another, and switch their pouches back and forth from each cage. This way they will get use to one another scent before you actual introduce them. I would do this for a couple of days then try to intoduce them to each other by putting them in the same cage. Keep a close eye on them, so you can see how they are getting along with one another.
I had great success with mine it only took a few hours and they were getting along great. I think they were happy to have someone of their own kind. I have a male and female , so that could have made the difference. Hope this helps.

Best of luck, Tammy, Zippie & Zena ;-)
