Hi i have 2 cresties that are both about 2 months now. I want to house tehm together but am not sure of their sex. If they were both males would i be able to house tehm since they are very young, i know regularlythey would fight but i heard somewhere u can house them from babies together and tehy get along fine...But would i be able to do this with a 2 month old pair... and if they were male and female would they try to breed at this age. I jsut want to make it easier and have them in the same enclosure. They seem to get along well outside there cage. Well what do u guys think about it is it ok to do or too risky?

At 2 months you wont be able to sex them so it will be fine to house them together. As soon as one of them shows signs of being a male (buldge at bast of the tail) seperate them immediately. If both turn out to be males you dont want any fighting and if they are male female, you dont want them breeding at an early age. In both cases I would seperate the two. If they are both female, housing them shoudnt be a problem although females may fight.
Hope his helps.
