Ive had 2 sumatran red bloods for about 2 - 2 1/2 years now. a male and a female, the male was raised in a little box just for breeding purposes and was NEVER socialized atall, so he is quite mean and pissy. he also has a musking problem. ( i think musking is the right word? he pees and slings his poop everywhere if you even start to take him out ) He also likes to try and strike me through the glass when i walk by.
He does fine he usualy eats his meals and hes nice and healthy.
This is where it gets weird. I was told that the female and the male were about to same age give or take a few months. well the male has been growin like a weed and hes pretty big. They were babies when i got them and well the female has hardly grown. She used to take every meal but over a year she just kind of stopped and now she rarely eats. She refuses almost every meal. She is smaller than i think she should be. Her body weight and everything seems fine, shes not showing any bad signs and she acts completely normal but she is very short. the male is a GIANT compared to her. any opinions or advice? and yes ive checked my husbandry many times and it seems to be spot on. i dont know what the problem is.
