Big chin, little chin
« on: March 02, 2010, 05:28:03 PM »

Alrighty. I just got a second chin and I originally thought them both to be males.... I am not so sure anymore...

The first one I got , Pepper, is the same age as the newest one, Dorian..

Pepper is very small and is shaped a little bit different than Dorian.

I was just playing with them in our hallway and Dorian just like hopped onto Pepper and went to town. ::think::

I was wondering if males do this to each other for any normal reason.

yep, completely normal. males do this when deciding who is dominant.. sounds like Dorian wants to be dominant over your little Pepper. expect a lot of humping for the next few weeks! hopefully they do not have dominance issues and end up getting along  :::grins::

Totally normal male behavior, but here is a website to help you make sure of their gender.

i had a kit that was hump crazy.. i wanted to keep him, but he would of had to have his own cage and i didn't want three cages for my males.. two is enough.. but he was literally to hump happy. i couldn't believe it.
