I agree, I made the mistake of getting two males before. I had gone to a petstore where they only sold feeder mice, therefore all genders were mixed, and I didn't want babies so I figured the males would be okay. Nope! After a night or two of screeching from both of them fighting, I had to rehome one. Luckily, the mother of a girl I work with heard about it (because I was going to give to her as a feeder...no other options) and took him, and he became her chihuahua's entertainment. The chi's watch him all day long run around on the wheel lol.
Two females from a strictly female cage would be your best option. They don't live too long...I had one that I think wound up choking on something, he was having seizures, and I had been away and let my mom take care of him. He passed away shortly. Another one had a habit of climbing on his water bottle, I walked in and saw him fall off of it, and he was just laying there really sickly and passed away also.
I love the little critters though. They really are great pets.
