I have two 16weeks old boys and they are absolutely in love with each other most of the time but the smaller of the two has started becoming very amarous with theen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/72680?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 03 Mar 2010 09:48:19 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:a608c70b-fdbe-4dff-8b0c-45eb4ec5deceMaisy<p>Usually with young males it can be a phase that passes once they hit maturity, just watch for any other signs like nipping/biting. Neutering probably wouldn&#39;t help a great deal now but if it is continuing you could consider it (I used to get my rats castrated mainly because they were always male-female living together). </p> <p><img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Fingerscrossed.png" alt="Fingers crossed" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/72664?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:48:41 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:877ef5d9-0b1c-480c-a6af-c7f93bea315fchanel clydesdale<p>Thanks very much! Its not that they dont get on all the time its jus the smaller of the two is conctantly at his brother being a bit over the top with the whole sexual tendancies and i dont wanna go for castration unless its neccessary.
