That should be fine.. Ideally 3 females per male is what people aim for but 2 should be fine. Just keep an eye on them to check he doesnt stress them out or show too much aggression

Shouldn't see why not.

I've got 1 Male Living with 1 Female and they both seem happy enough.

I was Quite worried about Ishi being a bit of a Bully with only having 1 female but Pandora is the boss of him lol

I've found that hermans males can be persistent but are on the whole gentler with their girlies than many other breeds.I've got 1 Male to 4 females and that's domestic bliss-except when they all want to nest at once!
