We've had two male gerbils, who are brothers, for about 18 months and they've always been perfectly happy together...until recently. One night, I found them both covered in blood - they had obviously been fighting and managed to cut/bite/scratch each other quite badly. Anyway we washed them off and put them back and after a few hours of keeping apart they went back to being best buddies again, cuddling up together. Then a couple of nights ago we found one of them was cut again....we don't really want to have to separate them as they probably don't have much life left, and we don't want to have to get another gerbilarium. On the other hand, I don't want them to fight to the death...anyone had similar?
