Help wanted please

[ryan24smith]

I have 3 adult red foots 1 male 2 female the male and largest of the females have been mating a lot but the male and smaller female have been fighting I noticed today like biting each other and I've seen the male suck his head right in and throw himself at her, now he is very friendly normally and he likes being stocked usually but he actually tried fighting with my hand,

I want to no if this is normal behaviour and if it's because he is mating and being territorial and protective of the large female

Please help

Hi Danny I thinkso I've had pictures up on here before for sexing she does mount the female from time to time like the male does

My Roxy has been trying to mate with Lilly every morning, and this evening I saw her trying to bit Lilly's head ALOT then mating again, I'm beginning to dought she is actually a female x

Yeah my male and smaller female seem to seek each other out come face to face and try biting each others heads it's been going on all day?

That must be stressful, how are the females with each other? I would take the male out for a bit to let things calm down, it's up to you of course, also worth posting another photo of the young female in the sexing thread.

I will be keeping an eye on Roxy, if she keeps doing it ill take her out for a bit, it's normally Lilly the dominant but she seems to be taking it which is surprising x

Well I've just seen the little female trying to bite the large females head now :s

More male behaviour than female behaviour, that is
