I uploaded 30 seconds of typical behaviour to Youtube.

I think they are both males - but one is certainly much heavier than the other (Ernie is 59g and Eric is 34) but they don't have a shortage of food. The thing I find confusing is that they will spend all day sleeping in the same small area of the house, almost on top of eachother (one of these Trixie 3 room houses that we have modified so there are two individual rooms), so there is no sign of Ernie being so stressed he doesn't want to be anywhere near his brother. I also know that Ernie is Mr Squeaky - and squeaks quite readily, so he is not necessarily being bitten but expressing his displeasure.

Anyway, have a look at the video. I hope it's viewable.
