Raising baby Malis

azteclizard Sep 05, 2003 06:09 PM

I'm picking up 3 baby malis from an other vendor at a show this weekend. I just wanted to know how people with multiple babies raise them up. Is it advisable to raise them all seperate or as a group. Just want to figure out how many bins I need to set up.
thanks,

I would have at least two set up already...sometimes the baies all get along great, but other times some are aggressive or dominate over the others, causing stress, and wieght loss. They also will prevent the others from eating. If they have been living together fine, then i wouldn't worry about a dominate one, but if they have been seperate i would have at least two ready.
Good luck!!

Thanks for the info. I have experience with aggressive babies, I raise BD's...lol. I constantly have to seperate then by size. I'm from NJ also. Do you go to the White Plains shows? I'm a vendor there. If you go on sunday, stop by and say hello.
