Why have you separated them? How old are they? Was the male bothering her too much?

Hi,  you are right to separate the spur thigh and the hermann.  You say you have another hermann, are the two hermanns kept together? Separating the torts wont upset them its best for their health.

hi Laraine I think they do miss each other as this happened to my horsfields they had been together from the start and I put gizmo in with another female and lola stopped eating when i put him back she was fine, they are still together.so yes im sure they like company. jean barraclough.
