How long can they live together

eliza · 21-09-2009, 06:19 PM

As some of you may no i recently bought another 3 horsfields. When purchaced them the man said he was certain they were all female even tho they are only 2. I put their photos up on the sexing forum and got some very mixed responses so now i dont no what to do as i no i cant keep males together and i already have 1 male so just dont have the space if they do turn out to be male. How long can i keep them together if they do turn out to be all male or a mixture of male and female? They are about 2.Any replys would be great.
Thanks Eliza

you can never tell if they will setle together or not, i have some males that are happy together some that are not, and some that get along fine outside even sitting side by side but MUST have their own sleeping pens on a night or all hell breaks loose

its kinda wait and see and keeping a careful eye, but the more room they have, the better they should get along

Thanks for the replies thats what i thought just wait and see. I only got them on friday and have been sitting watching them most of the weekend and they seem to settleing in well. They have got afew different hides in their enclosure but all choose to sleep together. Also do females hold their tales to the side or is it just the males?
