I know sulcatas aren't the best together, can you have multiple cherryheads living together?

Yes. As long as you have space for them to have alone time they are fine. 1 or more than 3, not pairs.

Remember that a cherry head is more aggressive than a regular Redfoot

I should add, obviously if you had 3 males together there will be some bullying going on. Ideally 1 male to 2 females.
Also I've noticed mine seem to bunk up at night in groups. The same groups. I have plenty of places for them to get away and sleep alone but they don't 9 times out of 10, and it's not males following females. It can be a hide full of females. Come to think of it now, more often than not it's my males that sleep alone.

Age does make a difference. Until they become sexually mature, I haven't seen much "bullying" or any other aggressive behavior in any of the species we've rescued.
