I have 3 male robos: Twix, Biscuit (not to be confused with female biscuit - it's complicated!) and Milkybar kid.
For the past couple of weeks Twix and Milkybar have been living together. As mentioned in a previous post Milkybar is spending almost no time outside his bed.
Biscuit lives on his own.
Tonight I put biscuit and milkybar into the bath together and they got along well. However when I included Twix into the equasion quite a bit of fighting broke out between everyone. I had to intervene and ended up with either Biscuit or Milkybar clamped onto my finger! Just a bit of Savlon and I'm ok.
I gave the cage which Twix and Milkybar live in a good scrub and put both Milkybar and Biscuit into it. That was roughly half an hour ago. We've had just one scrabble but it wasn't serious and no blood was drawn. When they are walking around they are half following eachother and seem wary, maybe a little cautious of eachother. If they do start to fight should I seperate them?
Currently they are both on a wheel each. Any advice or tips?
hmm... i'm not sure i would've done that. The first 2 might not have needed splitting but now you won't be able to put them back together. I hope the other 2 get along ok. I'd leave it unless they are biting each other and/or rolling about locked in a ball. If so, you might end up with 3 lone robos.
Odd numbers of robos isn't a great idea as they tend to do better in pairs, or even numbers (as they split into pairs)....I've had success with 3 or 5 robos together for a few months but in the end, they always seem to fall out as they start picking on someone.
I'd stick with your current situation like Bunsey suggests.

Thankyou for your advice! Twix and Milkybar are snuggled together on the wheel at the moment. Biscuit is in his cage scoffing his face! I have a litter of robos (only 10 days old at the moment) would it be possible to keep one of the male babies with Biscuit?
You can certainly try introducing one of the male babies to Biscuit when they're old enough. Hopefully they'll stay together - although there's always a risk that they might start to fight at age 4 months-ish when the baby starts maturing and maybe wants to be dominant. When they babies are a little older, just post on here and we'll all be happy to guide you through it.
couldn't have put it better myself, yes you can try but there's a chance that the baby will want to beat the adult up and take dominance at around 4 months. This happened 3 times to me
