Abstract

One disadvantage of isosexual pairing that we have encountered is that temporary separation of the pair (e.g. for behavioural monitoring) can precipitate fighting on re-introduction. If this occurs we have found that a gradual re-association process, utilising adjacent cages to permit visual and audio contact, and supervised free running together, facilitates re-pairing.
