Violence

[Dontae Iusi]

I keep my male amd female together they are only a year old and my female has become violent towards me any idea on what could be happening she actually bit me yesterday and I dont wanna say she pregnant because I dont know if that's even a possibility that young

so at about that age they do go through their “puberty”. i use that term loosely, but it’s basically where all their hormones are at a height and they’re sexually maturing. some days she’ll hate you & some days she’ll love you. you just wait it out!

Yes! that’s exactly it then. there’s some good threads on here about it, i have a 1.5 year old i recently adopted. it happens to everyone! make sure her enclosure is clean, and she’s fed and she’ll grow out of it in the next year or so! males tend to go through it quite a bit longer. so just be prepared! best of luck & health to you& them

Def takes some patience!! Every one of them seems to be different too. My male took forever, my female hasn't figured out she's actually a half a year in to her puberty stage. I keep waiting for her to hate me, but she's pretty chill.
