Nice bulls, Dan! This is such a great thread...

That is how I keep my baby pits, too; in a big 106 quart tub and feed them all separately in feeding jars. Then from tub to big cages as they increase in size.

Spitz and Sputz, 2011 and 2012, this morning. They have been together since last fall when I put them in the same brumation tub. They are close to the same size and get along very well.

The exception to the feeding in jars rule is with my little Pacifics. I had a couple of very timid feeders so just feed them all together and they are doing great.

Keeping babies or yearlings or adult females or mated pairs together is okay but I would never keep sexually mature males together, as they will not get along.

The other main thing is pits love to eat a lot and frequently, so I make sure everyone is satisfied.
