If you had a really large enclosure, with lots of objects so they cant easily see each other, you might have a chance of keeping them togetehr.
But male horsfields are notorious for fighting.
This is because, one has to be alpha male, so will fight to dominate the other. If you can cope with the fighting until they sort it, and dont get any females, then you might be able to keep them together. Any females around and there is nil chance of keeping them without fighting.
How long have they been together?
How big is their enclosure?
Pictures of your setup will help us to help you:0)
