Thanks everyone, it is horrible seeing them like it, I find it quite distressing actually, I am a worrier atthe best of times, so all your support is much appreciated.
Last night I completely disinfected their cage and refilled with fresh substrate and bedding. I feel so mean that they have no toys, no wheels, etc
Their cage looks so bear. I came very close to not putting them back together though, and seperating them there and then. When I looked in on them when I got home, they were just fighting constantly again, constantly attacking, rolling around and squeeking. I popped them in the carrier and then things really kicked off. I suppose them being in such a confined space didnt help, as they had no choice but to be with each other. The fighting got more serious, and I was seriously considering splitting them. I had to weigh it up as I am out of the house for 12 hours a day and can not keep an eye on them, I didnt know what to do for the best. If somthing were to happen I may not find out untill hours later, it was a tough decision. But gradually, whilst they were in the carrier the fighting became less and less and in the end they went to sleep next to each other. So I popped them back in the clean cage with nothing but megazorb, a huge pile of bedding, food all over and water. They had a little tusstle, but after that were running around not bothering each other at all. I kept checking on them throught last night and everything was fine. This morning there was not hide nor hair of them!! Everything was quiet and peaceful, justy two pinky noses peeking up at me like butter wouldnt melt!! It certainly seems to have done the trick. . . for now at least!
I am going to ask Tammys advice on the next step, and when I should take it. As if they have to stay like this in a bear cage, for the rest of their lives, to be honest I would rather seperate them. I feel that they could have a much more fullfilling life apart, if it turns out they cant cope with wheels, toys etc. I am really torn, But I am going to play it by ear and just see what happens with them. I wanted a learning experience from keeping two robos and I am certainly getting that!!
I_N Thanks - I did try PMing you but your inbox was full! I am picking up a cage at the weekend that I won on ebay. Its a Duna fun that I plan to put Boris in, so the robos could go into the mini duna (Boris current cage). Do you think this would help? I am worried about stressing them even more with so much change. I am willing to do what ever it takes, I just want these guys to be happy, wethers its together or apart, I just want to do right by them. I realy feel like I have let them down and you down! I tried so hard to get everything right.
Will keep you all posted!
