Female aggresion or not

suttysue · 28-03-2012, 02:37 PM

Hi I have recently put together my 2 females one is 3yrs & the other is 8yrs
obviously there is a large size differance.
I have had no trouble upto today when the smaller one began to chase and bite the larger one. I did wonder if the smaller one had been wrongly sexed BUT there was no mounting or flashing of the willy (sorry) just head bobbing & biting of the legs & head.
Fortunately the larger one was able to withstand the aggression with out any trouble and she did not retaliate in any way.
Could this be a dominance thing I rely hope so!!

It does sound like dominance behavior Sue.
