Breeding Behavior???

[Big K]

So My buddy and I have placed our two black bloods together in hopes that they breed, They have only been together 2 days now and i know these things take time but they are acting very strange. They have been going nuts since be placed together, I havnt noticed any striking but they have been tail wiping and cant seem to get far enough a part from each other. I was just wondering if this is a typical breeding behavior or if anyone else has experienced anything like this. Thanks

Have you sexed them to make sure they are not both males? If you have, they are probably not ready yet. Seperate and pair later. Also, if these animals are acting like that and not separated, you will stress them out beyond belief. I suggest pulling them from each other.

Sounds like two males

alright , yeah they could be both males, I have not sexed them, when purchased they where said to be a male and female...I have them in separate tubs now, I dont want to stress them out too much. I will have to probe them and double check in a few days when theyre not so stressed, It crossed my mind that they could both be males, but this being my first time breeding I wasnt sure if this could be typical behavior for a breeding pair, Thanks for the replies.

If there 2 males they'll combat, meaning push each other around..Its entertaining to watch, never seen them bite but there sure is a whole lot of pushing going on..I have a male that will push on me if it smells other males on me..If their mellow animals and males its not to difficult to pop them if you have some experience..
