I had 4 total, always 2 at a time so they could play. Pinky and The Brain were first, lived out their lives nicely and were awesome pets!
yes they stink, constantly need to keep the cage clean, they are very busy and need to be played with and exercise. They are also great sleepers and love a hammock!

i had a 6 level cage so they could play and run around. They were pretty good about keeping their food and water clean.

the next set were snoopy and Bandit. Also awesome, snoopy the girl struggled a little bit with biting but eventually stopped. They all do as babies but usually they stop. Little guys have super sharp teeth! I bled plenty from them. fun pets but definitely need lots of attention both to okay with and keeping clean.
