If it's not 1 thing it's another Grrrr
Darwin has taken to trying to bite Archimedes. Her head no less!
Three times I have seen this this afternoon, would you separate them? I only have the enclosure that Galileo is in now, do you think I could put Archimedes and Galileo back together? They were clutch mates. Any advice gratefully accepted xx

Yes I think that's a good idea, you can put them all together again once the tiddlers are a lot bigger x

I'm inclined to agree with Bev, it seems to be naughty Darwin who is causing the problems, try the two tiny ones together for a while and leave Darwin on her own till the others are a bigger and settle more. Maybe it was too soon to put them together when you first got them. My 9 month old Herman is a naughty bully, her name is too sweat for her ! Phoebe !!!

I'd agree with the others. Just make sure Galileo is getting a fair share of food.

Hi Bev, sorry I didn't see your reply yesterday, the 2 small ones are in together now, I think the rough and tumble is too much for the size difference, Darwin's rough makes them tumble, a lot! Galileo has eaten more than I've seen her eat for ages, could she maybe have been lonely on her own? She's never been alone, but after bath time today, went straight for the food. Fingers crossed this works. Darwin will be going into coco coir Friday, I miscalculated from the last dose of worming treatment, was going to do it yesterday It's been a stressful week
