    Yeah, but it wasn't a feeding accident. I heard them thrashing around and of course I knew what was going on. One of them had another one by the neck and wouldn't let go. So dunked them both in the water bowl and the attacker let go. The skin's a little wrinkled, but no permanent damage done, I hope.

    So, that's the last time I underestimate their cannibalistic tendencies. The little experiment with housing them in pairs, is officially over. One was hungry and the other one looked like prey.

    Glad no major damage was done. I guess the title of the thread is appropriate after all. Good save!
