Degus fighting over food

[step1122]

Hi, my degus have recently started fighting over food, not a long fight they just push each other than they both take a leaf or what ever i give them, and go on the opposite side of the cage.
are there anyways i can stop these fights from happening?

It's a simple suggestion, but one that often works a charm. Get a second bowl, and place it in an area of the cage that is out of sight of the other one. That way they will learn to eat at different bowls, and will forget each other since, "out of sight, out of mind" works really well with degus.

I second what DC said. Seperate bowls
