I'm not sure how a male Gono would do with a male capra. Capra males depend on the individual as to weather or not they will get along. Right now I have a group of males who are housed together and they are doing fine. They are clutch mates and were raised together though. I have a male who has never been territorial either and is fine in any group but have had other males who will fight any male they see, even will attempt it through glass. So, when housing males together watch them closely and don't leave them alone until you are sure they will be ok together.
The new clutch is doing great so far. They have taken well to silkworms and phoenix worms. I will have some mini mealworms in a day or two and I am sure they will love them. They are leaving tiny little poops already so I feel really comfortable with their vitality. They are much more active than the capra babies at the same age. They are alway in different spots. I can look and find them moved in just 5 minutes time while I am in the room feeding insects and the other animals.
One little one opens his mouth to scare away the rain when I start misting. Then when he realizes what is going on he calms down and drinks. Tooo funny! They make me laugh. Also, they do have black mouth and tongue as do the adults. That is pretty cool. They also have the same marking variations as the adults. I think I could tell all 5 apart if I would take pictures and label them. Each one is different! So cool. One was pretty thin compared to the others but I put in the phoenix worms and silks this morning before I left for work and this evening I can't tell which one was skinny. They are all nicely filled out. One, however, is a real tubby! I will post pics when I get a chance to take some new ones.
