Question

I need some advice. I have 2 males I rescued and they have bonded with my female. I have had them for 4 months. Everything is fine but one male lunges and crabs and bites really hard. I have done all the bonding I have with the others but he seems mad not scared.
My question is should I take him out separately or will that scare him more? Should i put him in his own cage so he has to get use to me.
Thanks for any help

I wouldn't put him in a cage alone; that's liable to stress him and make him more unfriendly. Try some one-on-one bonding time, in a tent if you have one. You can get him out by himself by using a pouch or a large fleece square to protect your hand as you gently lift him out of the pouch with the others.

I agree. Don't separate him out. That would be counterproductive. If anything, if he sees the others trusting you, that helps.

Thanks I have taken him out. He is a recluse. He stays in the cage when the others come out into the room. If I take him out he runs behind the cage until I catch him and put him back in. He will come up for yoggies but some of the time he gets close and then strikes and doesn't take the food
