I am curious Wayne, what all are you feeding them as of now, and how much?
They slam 10 night crawlers each daily, I had to slow down on the Dubia until my colony recovers, and baby rats.
The other day I stopped at the pet store and picked up $10 worth of crickets, and just let them all go in there. It was fun to watch, but the monitors started fighting.
My rats hate me, because every time they have a litter, I let them nurse the babies for a few days, and once the pups start to get a little colour to them I take the whole litter, split it up 50/50 and then let the monitors devour them.
Every once in a while, I do give my snakes the rat pinks, now that rodent pro has been on backorder and the entire frozen rodent price scale has doubled.
The 12 cent fuzzy mouse is just a memory now, doubt they will ever come back down.
My son has become very good at catching those big grasshoppers out back, but that season is coming to a close fast.
and last but not least, these really huge organic shrimp that cost $11.50 a pound, they are so big I have to cut them into thirds. However at that price, they are treats.
All I can say is they are ALWAYS hungry, and they eat more food than anyone could imagine.
I have to take Littlefoot out when I feed Cera, the fighting has gotten to be violent when food enters the picture.
This was the very last time I ever let them eat together. (I slowed it down to 50% to better see just how dangerous this fight really was) Littlefoot twisted Ceraa's arm pretty bad in this fight. She recovered quickly, but never again...

Yikes, that's not good. Time for a bigger cage? Thank you for the input as far as feeding goes though.
Yes I am doubling the cage size, however I could feed them in the middle of my meadow, and they would still compete over the food.
I take Littlefoot and lock him in a different box while I feed them.
Then I wait 15-20 minutes for them to simmer down and put him back in.
Another great observation is that they both know the sound my camera makes when I turn it on, they could be down in the burrow, they hear that tone (it's a long beeping sound) and come running for food.
Even if I am not going to feed them, they associate that sound with dinner time.

That is what I was thinking. He must have at least hurt her fairly bad. She is just tough enough to hide it. I wouldn't want to see her loose her let at the hip! I hope that once they get a bit larger and more confidence you can still allow them to live together but I take it the chances of that are very slim?

I keep the survailance cam on them most of the time, and they only carry on like that when food is offered.
I have spoken with others who keep pairs, and it seems to be common.
As for Cera's leg, she limped around for about ten minutes. I did not sleep well that night, Kept checking on her.
I will video Littlefoot when I take him out, he has a major shitfit when he sees me feeding her while he is locked in the other enclosure.
