My apartment roommate had one male and one female, and yes with a huge cage (4 foot square by 5.5 foot tall). Unfortunately they stunk, though I imagine she didn't bathe them enough. Very cute, playful animals (though the female tended to bite a bit) ... totally awesome to put on a leash and take for a walk
I'd think of owning a couple, but my mom would go ballistic with the dog, three rats and python that we already have in the house (the latter four animals being my sister's). Perhaps in the future - though I'd probably still consider getting a dog first.
