Fighting males! Please help!

If there was blood you need to seperate. Sometimes males will hate each other so much that they never get along again. My males are this way. Reko and Mojo lived together for over a year. One night Reko and Mojo started fighting (Last feb I believe). Since then any time they get together blood is drawn. I put them together (outside for outside time) in a huge pen and they attacked each other and both have wounds. It had been many months since they had even seen each other. Its sad but sometimes that just happens.

How big is your cage? How old are your boys? They might be going through their teenage stage and may have to be separated until they calm down.

Just get a cage seprater and see what happens.I am sorry to here that.

Yeah, I just love them both I hate to see them hurt each other. Thank you so much! I'll need to be more cautious then.

It is a store bought 1"x4". Ive been planning to upgrade to more spacious cage. One is 9 months & the other is 10. When does the teenage stage begin & end?

I know when my teens were in a store cage they fought pretty bad. No blood, i got them upgraded before that thankfully, but they had started to leap at eachother pretty violently. maybe making upgrading a priority would help your boys a lot. Boys need more room the average, for example my three are in a 16sq foot cage when on the front of the site 13.5sq feet is the recomended. And if they are in puberty stil (not sure how long it lasts. My two teens are just hitting that start age) space to get away could keep them happier. I know my teens stopped fighting all together after they moved cages. Then you would be able to keep them together! Which is always good!

1 inch by 4 inches??? Somehow I think it's probably a bit larger than that.

I know when my girls are put in a small cage they will fight. This could be simply fixed by a bigger cage, but it might just be that they are in the teenage stage, or that they just don't get along. I know if I put me three girls in a 2x5 (Which is the minimum for three) They would most likely come out with wounds, however in their 3x7 with a 2x2 connection and a loft, they get along wonderfully.
