Well, they've been curled up together all day. They have been playing together in their cage for a couple of hours now but i've recently heard some sort of hissing noises? I dont know how to describe it...
They both keep sniffing eachothers bums but then the little one will start to nibble the tip of the others ones tail which then leads in them rolling around in a ball for a few seconds with a little hissing noise  Undecided
They dont seem to be fighting aggresively but i've seen a few little kicks when theyr rolling around. Also the little one has climbed on the bigger ones back a few times and the rolling and hissing happened again.

Maybe the little one is just being a pain in the bum tonight .... is it anything to worry about? I've been watching them and they don't appear to be hurting eachother. Probly just being paranoid but I just wanted to check Smiley better safe ey x

Squabbles happen.  It sounds like the smaller one is being a bit of a baby, they often ride round on one of the parents backs.  Just keep an eye on them for now.

They cuddle up in the pouch and I hear nothing from them all day.
But in the first half hour of them being out, I dont know whether peeka (the smaller one that was biting) gets abit over excited but she runs frantically for a few mins, striping branches like mad and nibling on almost everything in the cage ... including boo's legs Sad

I dont know how hard she bites her. She does it for about 15 mins on and off, sometimes its 1 nip and then i hear a hiss and see a little swipe back from boo and then peeka runs away but then comes back and does it again. If its carries on for a few seconds I put my hand in to split them up but I dont wana scare the both of them and I dont reallly know how your supposed to teach her to not do it. I move her away as far as possible but she normally jumps back quicker than I can take my hand out the cage...

She did it last night for about 20 mins and it's started again tonight. Peeka wont follow boo around the cage to bite her but if they're both on the ground together ... they spend alot of time grooming on the ground, then thats when she'l bother her. I guess if she was biting hard ther would be visible wounds? I've picked boo up and ther are no cuts or scratches on her so I dont know whether she is hurting her or just being annoying. Like I said, they normally get on great, its just the first half hour of being out of their pouch that peeka goes abit mad ...
