: My male has become very aggressive ever since I broke up a very bad fight between him and the female. They were fighting so bad, I had to get up at 4am and seperate them. That night he bite me so hard he drew blood. This never happened before. Now whenever I put my hand in the cage he bites very hard, drawing blood and not releasing. He now bites me out of the cage. He bite me so hard this morning I couldn't stop the bleeding. I don't want to get rid of him, but I will not tolerate this behavior. I'm wondering if it is just me he has decided to hate, and if he would be better of living with someone else? If I do seperate them, how will the female handle it?
that is the most agressive i have ever heard of a male getting, mine has never displayed such vehemance. unless you are trying to breed, you might want to consider neutering him.
as for the female, insofar as i know she should be fine in a seperate cage. as long as she isn't left alone in the attic, for seperation =)
hope you get perhaps more professional advice,
