Default One grumpy one fine

Two hermans. One is fine wanders around most of the grazes throughout day etc. but quite docile and quiet

The other eats a lot more and is more stroppy stomps around a bit. But has spurts of activity.

Number one out and about all day. Number two out for hour or two then goes to bed. Comes out for hour or two goes to bed.

Both in identical conditions. Drinking eating pooing. No sign of worms in poo.

So is it just different temperates or should I worry? I often think if I didn't get number two out occasionally he might never come out.

Btw he has always been like this so no change in behaviour.

They are siblings.

They are not all the same in terms of behaviour but does one bully the other, even just a bit?

You say you can't see any worms. Not all worms will be visible to the naked eye. Have you had a test done?

If you search worm count on here they test for £6.50 per sample. You send it in, they test it and email you the results with advice on how to treat if needed.

Tottally agree, I had 2 Hermanns togther with exactly the same behaviour so I seperated them and no surprise here --but the quite one is not sleepy or grumpy any more.

You might have to do the same.

As I said above the quiet one is the one that has done te bullying in the past. Additionally when he is on his own he exhibits the same behaviour.
