Fighting Russians

[conns1]

Hello, I am a new member with a problem. I have 2 ten week old Russians and they do not get along. They come from the same clutch they were separated for about 2weeks. He new one keeps biting the other in the face. We have tried feeding apart and they have their own hiding places. We are thinking of giving the new one back. However, we don't want to. Please help!!

Ten weeks is a little young for them to be fighting, a bigger enclosure or separate enclosures are probably your best options.

Honestly russians dont do very well in pairs at all so I would either make separate enclosures or I would add more babies to the two you already have.

This is normal behavior for Russians and this is why pairs are not recommended. They need to be separated immediately. Either make another enclosure or return one.
