Have you separated them?
I had a few problems with juvies a few months back so i separated them and reintroduced a few days later- appears to have worked ok.

It wouldnt be breeding behaviour as similar is experiance with the male chasing, grasping the female on the neck.

They're fine now.. however they keep trying to run up the front glass.. they'll be sitting there and then all of a sudden just start running up the glass Can they hurt their toes when they do this? I'm just afraid they might hurt themselves when they do this |

Still, the shire is a little nicer than Campbelltown.

Hello,
Yeah, you better figure out what sex they are. It could be 2 males, or, it could be a male & female trying to mate, & they are way way too young to do so!! The males bite the females on the neck while mating. So, I would get that figured out soon, because if it is a male & female you will have to separate them just as you would if you have 2 males together. That arrangement either way just wont work.
