The article talks about cannabisim occuring during feeding (ie. 2 animals latching onto the same prey) I also feed in seperate containers, and do not put them back together until they are truly out of feeding mode. I am extra careful with those that have aggressive feeding responses, and give them more time. Others are extremely gentle feeders, which I feed by hand. I do not recommend this, however this WC girl will not eat if just put in a bin. She is a bit spoiled, and will only eat if hand fed. I let her finish in my hand to keep her out of the substrate. She has only been in captivity since May, and is only calm when housed with a male. It is very odd, but there is a definate personality change between being housed alone or with a male. I have only noticed this with the WC Easterns.
