|
|
i took them together in one enclosure for stimulate there sexdrive. so after 20 minutes the they have seen each other and begin to wrestle with each other. i separat them after 10 minutes of battleing ( they only wrestle and do not bit each other ) and took them to the female of the combatant. hope this works ( sorry for my bad english)
the video is on youtube :

that's a great video, thanks for posting the link!
So they didn't bite each other, only wrestling? _________________

Brilliant film,they don't look so demeur when their wrestling like that and nice to see no biting,very honourble .I often thought what would happen if you put 2 Storri males together but judging by what he did to his mate the outcome would have been very different indeed. |
