The eight Russians I have living together get along very well. But two of them have quirky personalities that always make me wonder just what they are thinking.

I've mentioned Mithril before, my 5.5" FEMALE that mounts EVERYBODY, EVERY DAY... she also does a lot of shell ramming. And if someone tries to run away from her, she runs alongside them, trying to cut them off (by pushing in front of them). This is how she spends her days. She doesn't physically hurt anyone... she's just pushy! LOL! Maybe it's a dominance thing... maybe she's got the world's smallest male tail and is really just a horny boy! ROFL

And then there is the littest one of the bunch at just over 4", Carmine. She is the head bobber of the group... she bobs it at everyone. She's just picked up Mithril's habit of running alongside someone and barging in front of them. But the quirkest thing she does - and she only does this to the three biggest girls - is to bite their hind legs. She delights in nothing more then sneaking up behind them and chomping on their back legs! She's never done this to the boys or to her best buddy Elentari (the other little one). Of course the big girls have such big elephant legs that half the time they don't even notice it!!!

What ARE they thinking?!?!?

Kelly I could be wrong but isn’t a female ramming and mounting (dominance?) and the little one biting signs of aggression/stress? I'd keep my eye on those two.

Well yah in general I could see that. But these two don't SEEM stressed out, and Mithril has always been this way. The biting thing is new... but she's not been with BIG ones prior to this... They still eat like mad, they don't hide or shy away from anyone or anything, they come to me when I come in the room.... their personalities haven't seemed to change since they were in a "smaller community"....
