female dominance
I was wondering if anyone else has seen this...
I have a male and female living together and she totally bosses him around. It was his house first, as he grew up in it. I purchased her already full grown and she moved in with him. They live together in a 20Gal aquarium and have 4 hide spots around the heat source and 2 away from it. I've created levels that they can explore.
When feeding time rolls around, my female eats first and the male almost looks uninterested (until I hold some food right in front of his face). Its not like he dosent try, he just dosent seem to care.
She also protects him when I go into the cage for whatever reason. She'll stand in front of him, in between me and him. It's kinda cute, I think.
I was just curious if this was a motherly thing, or a "i'm bigger than him" thing. (She's not really, they are equal in size and girth.)
