Yeah I worded the post a bit wrong I suppose, I didnt separate them in the middle of fighting, I found one of them under the water bottle on his own. The other was sleeping. But I noticed the scab on his nose today and I think it might have happened the other night when he was trying to sneak into the igloo.
What I did was woke them both up to scruff them, to make sure the one with the scab didnt have more damage, and to make sure the other was fine to. Then after I kind of lead them towards the proper sleeping areas just to make sure they both didnt run in the igloo at the same time. The strange thing is that when they are both awake they seem fine; I've even caught them on the wheel at the same time. Sometimes the one seems intolerant of the other but they always seem to have respect of each others space while away from the nest.
They wont eat out of the food bowl at the same time either, But Ive seen them side by side munching on millet. Its strange. The larger one is the one with the scab. The other to me looks a tad smaller and thats the bully here
It seems strange they can live together while awake, but the one wont usually tolerate sharing the same sleeping space.
Both their "parts" look the same to me, I wonder if Im dealing with a picky female and a reject male ha ha. I notice the larger one with the scab always seems to approach the other with caution, as if trying to sniff and get close, but then the other one chases him off
So its strange, it's like they live in separate homes, but they can still roam around the cage just fine. I've only ever seen them tussle a bit over the igloo.
