When to seperate babies/ juves

[Amy]

I have just recently got into cresteds although i had always wanted them. I bought a lot off someone who was getting out of them and had some babies in cages together. Well i went down today to find one of the smaller ones tail gone and while its not a big deal id prefer them to have their tails. My question is do most people keep each baby in a separate cage? Or is their a certain age/weight when they should be separated to prevent tails being bitten off etc...?

i find the one that doing the fighting and remove it. Thats the only way I know, I have seen them grow up together for a long time. Just remove the problem child. Doing it this way though, you may find it to late and find a tail missing or 2. In rare cases when males and females dont fight, you find an egg or 22 as well. I know my next project is seperating them all, so this doesnt happen.

how meny are you talking about???, and i what size cage, i try to keep them all the same size or by themselfs, untill their ready to breed, but i never but more the three together and all the same size....the bigger cresteds will eat smaller ones if they can....they are very cannibalistic

They are both the same size about (2 & 1/2 inches head to tail), the one that i think bit the other ones tail is a little bigger but not much they are in medium size rubbermaids with 2 hide boxes and vines/leafs

lol that was suppose to egg or 2..not 22. I am sure if you search almost every forum you can find cases of either eggs appearing when people didnt know they had female and male together. I have even read about a baby being found.

i frist house them togeather by weight. (10-14 grams togeather and so on)
