The bitey thing is some kind of dominance related aggression. I have raised babies to subadults in small (3-4) groups without observing this behavior. But certain individuals (Males???) start bullying their cagemates it will continue untill the aggressor is removed. At feeding time the bully will ignore crickets to attack its cagemate first causing the cagemate to retreat and effectivly preventing it from competing for the food. The bully will always grow more quickly. I have never had an injury or even a tail dropped from bullying. Just alot of squeaking and running about.
