One of my tigers (Zippy) keeps climbing on top of one of the margies (Deano). It's not like they are on the ground either. The Deano has climbed to the top of the tank, and Zippy followed him up and climbed onto his back. I was worried that they were both going to fall, so i removed Zippy and put him back on the bottom. I have just checked them again, and he has climbed right back up to the top and onto his shell again. Deano has been wandering around with his bits partially exposed, so wondered, could it be that Zippy is following his scent trail as he wants to breed? Margies and tigers don't cross breed do they?

I don find them taking shortcuts over top of each other all the time, but thought it weird that he went right back up to the top and onto his back again. never seen them do that before.

Probably not - but it sounds like they dont know that *lol*
Sally my dimi used to ride round on the fulicas nearly all the time. Now she's not got them, and there's only Gary her slightly bigger bro, and the baby margies - she has to get about on her own foot *pmsl*

Hmm, would be interesting if they could! What would you call them, a Miger? Or a Targie? LOL
