help with new hatchling
Hello all Well we went to collect my hatchling from the breeder today to join Roxy (same breeder).
She's tiny, forgot just how small Roxy was She seems to be settling in fine she's had a bath, eaten and is stomping around her new home. Now my problem Roxy had a wee sniff at first but then bit at the back of her shell I've now caught her doing this quite a few times What should I do? I'm keeping a close eye on them but obviously can't watch them every second. Should I seperate them at nite when I'm unable to watch them? I could block part of the table off at night for the wee one. Just don't want the wee one (no name yet )getting hurt Many Thanks x ETA Here's a couple of pics of the new one, not the best as she won't keep still long enough LOL

are these siblings? if not I'd still have a separation period and if there's a lot of size difference I'd wait untill the baby had grown a bit.

Thanks Kay I'm hoping it's just Roxy trying to tell the new one she's boss
Thanks Pussygalore, yes they are sibblings I got Roxy a couple of months back and got bit by the tort bug so went back for another . There's not that much size difference that I'd be worried about Roxy squishing the other one or anything like that, it was just the biting that concerned me x
