I think the males are changing who is dominant...

[sianylou87]

My two boys have been sorting out who is dominant male recently. Originally guss was very submissive and allowed Tommy to mount him. Having said this Guss would still rumble strut whilst it was happening. However, in the last couple of days Guss has been pushing Tommy off and now seems to be doing the chasing and attempting to mount Tommy! I havnt heard any teeth chattering and I dont think there has been any aggressive behaviour, although they do hurtle round their cage with each other or on their floor time. Do you think this change in dominance might start to cause problems... I feel like I am watching them constantly just in case!

It may cause problems but equally it may not. It is purely dependant on your boys' personalities & their tolerance levels
