For some reason I am having a hard time establishing breeding groups of these things. I have had them for a year and a half now and still just have around 20 animals. They are producing sporadically. It seems every time I set up a new group, the male is picked on and sometimes killed by the females. They usually go for his ears/head and I will find the males later pretty jacked up and usually have to feed them off if they are bad enough. I am not even sure I have a male right now, except for juveniles. Is this a common problem and how can I correct it? When do you put them together (age) for breeding groups? Thanks for the help.
