I have two clutchmates, about 3 weeks old, housed together. I've housed the rest of the babies by themselves but decided to try and save space. At last feeding, I put a mealworm in front of each baby, one ate very quickly but the other chomped more slowly. The first baby made a beeline for the other's half-eaten mealie in its mouth. It chomped down on the other's mouth and bit hard for a couple seconds. I don't see any damage, but the second baby was MAD and just continued to wag her tail like an angry cat. She did eat a couple more mealies, though.
Should I separate them? Or continue to house them together? Do hatchlings normally have little battles?
How old are they before they can actually break skin?
