So when I woke up today, I noticed that one of my intermedius juves was hopping around in its 17.9 L shoe box. Then I realized that the other inetrmedius juve was following it and hopping onto the other juve.Are they figting or playing? There is about and inch of leaf litter in th shoebox so thee is lots of cover in there. Thanks

I forgot to mention that they are both 5 months old.

At 5 months, they are no longer juvies! They should be adults and are probably starting to show breeding behavior.

They don't play... if they are coming in contact with each other, it's for a reason. Either its aggression (wrestling) or courting (male calls, female comes up and strokes the back... male skitters off a bit, calls, female comes up and strokes the back...).

hmmm...ok I did hear a strange call this morning. I thought it might have been my vitattus, but it could've been the intermedius. Is there a website where I can listen to an intermedius call? Thanks for the help kero. They might have been wrestling though, because they were both on their hind legs with their front legs touching each other.

definately wrestling then. Their call is the same as imitator (since they are just a form of imitator, LOL) and can be found on this page.

lol ok yeah the imitator call is not what I heard this morning. It prob was my vitattus because the call was more bird like and less scratching. I'll keep a close eye on them to make sure they are ok.
