i know people have had this debate before about introducing new animals, and i read through that topic. so i know about fully cleaning out and rearanging the decor. but i was wondering, i now have 2 cresties a male and a female, the male is having soe health problems as i posted in the another topic, but i was wondering could i put them together when he is better. the only problem is he is smaller than her, not like hatchling small but smaller

thanks

It depends on size. If they are still quite small (less than 12g) then yes id say you can but if they are closer to 20g then i would really suggest you dont. Plus what is the size difference as that is hugely important?

But please remember that problems can occur so unless you are in the same room most of the night then it can be hard to see and hear the signs of distress. unless you know exactly what you are looking for.

ages arent much use, id would need to know size or weight difference. But if one is full grown and the other isnt then no you cant put them together. Well you could but it carries a very high risk of injury or death.
