yeah I am. except I clearly said that I believed them both to be females up until this point, and that was part of my confusion. and yeah, I was convinced that they lived together just fine, and I still am. temps were always fine, as well as heat, eating patterns, health aspects and their temperament. they didn't start locking until a couple days ago, so they did live fine together until that point and I had every reason to believe so. I don't think there's anything wrong with housing two same sized females together as long as they have plenty of space, are getting along and stay on feed. my mistake was not getting my normal properly sexed and obviously I took credit for that as I acted on them locking immediately, by separating them and taking them in to double check the next day, and then asking for advice on the forum.
why would I want her to hold on to his sperm?
