Hi everyone I have four girls from the same litter (Salt, Pepper, Bubble and Squeak) who were all getting on fine until last Friday were Pepper decided she wanted to dominate everyone and bit Bubble and had her cowering in a tunnel an pulled loads of fur out of Salts face. She has been in a tank onher own for a week as I couldn't say for definite she hadn't attacked Squeak as well and I didn't want to risk them together as I was away for a few days. Anyway the three together have been really calm and getting on fine but Pepper has seemed really lonely so we've decided to try a split tank to either reintroduce her or see if theres at least one she gets on with. So far they all keep trying to kiss and groom each other through the split , but am just wondering if you think I'm doing the right thing or if you think perhaps this could already be a lost cause. The cause seems to have been she wants to replace the dominant gerby which is Salt but not sure why she attacked Bubble who is the baby really (I know they're all the same age but she seems like she needs looking after by them all etc) Shes been separate up until tonight when we could set up the split. Sorry for waffling on, and thanks for any help or advice. xx

If they're all the same age, and they're over 6 months, they will start challenging each other for permenant dominance. Girls are usually hard to reintroduce. I would go for a permenant split tank.
