Then fighting will not be as intense, but it will still happen on a regular basis. Rats do it for fun and to establish who is boss.So, to answer your question, the "fighting" will never end. You only need to be concerned about it if they are actually trying to kill each other. Signs of a more serious fight include puffing up, walking sideways with an arched back, standing up, hissing/huffing etc.Just leave them in the same cage and let them work it out. The tail biting shouldn't concern you, that is just Daisy trying to pester Lily into wrestling. If it was serious, she would be going for vital areas and not the tail.</blockquote>
