Just a question here, I have been so taken with the child like personalities of the two newts my neibors brought me. "Oregon rough skinned" that I got 2 more. They are all doing great together, there are 2 females and 2 males from what it looks like. 2 are small, and 2 are very "fat." Anyways my question is, one of the males is well.... acting a little, ****
He keeps switching back and forth between the two females, he climbs on top of them, or attempts to. Usually grabbing the tail and slowly slinking his way up. He fully wraps himself around them and just sits their until they shake him off. Then he immediately tries with the other. Basically this has been a back and forth thing between the two females for a half an hour now. First I thought mabie this is too much and I should divide them. But the females keep coming back to him o.0 like they are teasing each other, they shake him off then sneak back for more.
This is really silly behavior and I'm really amused. They aren't being hostile at all. A few times hes ended up wrapping himself around a tail just to get swam all over the tank.
The only thing is since I'm so new to the newts and all, I want to make sure this isn't actually a worry situation. He did what seemed like "play nip" a few times. But didn't hurt anything.
