Scratches?

[Mandy]

Ok, so my boys wrestle and Lazarus is always the more dominant one, but I just checked Shinobi now and he has quite a big scratch on his back, it looks like its healing and maybe been there a few days now, but I'm worried now. It's not a deep one, just skin broken. Do I need to split them up? They seem to love each other usually... was it maybe an accident due to a fight gone too far? They HAVE been sleeping in different beds lately... Sounds like some sort of domestic dispute lol!

lol. probably a domestic dispute. do they do this often? or is this the first time?

here's my example: i have a cage of 7 boys. i noticed that billy had scabs on his back. crabbe had given them to him. crabbe is alpha in the cage. i think that billy maybe tried to be alpha and they had a little scuffle. it hasn't happened since. i'd probably keep them together unless it's a huge incident. they'll be happier that way. bill and crabbe are still in the same cage.

I noticed a tiny scratch on Shinobi before but that was a long time ago. But yeah, this one is bigger so I was a bit worried. I wouldn;t want to separate them yet. thanks
