OMG! I just came downstairs to see my my sandfire yellow x red/gold bearie being eating by his partner! This is absolutely unheard of! I cannot believe this! They were relatively the same size, I am sorry I just cannot believe this. Killing eachother, yes, being aggressive, yes. This I don't even understand. They were hardely of age to start being aggressive to eachother should they be of the same sex. That is another thing, absolutely no prior aggression had occurred. If so I would have separated immediately. Anyhow when I came down the full tail and rear legs were hanging out. I didn't know what to do, fearing the other would choke on the one it was eating I gently pulled it out of his mouth. He now looks bloted and seems jumpy compared to his normal self. The other, dead. I guess I am just absolutely stunned, or shocked. Or both. I have truly never heard of this. I guess I just want to see what you guys think. Anything that could possibly go wrong with the one who was trying to eat the other?
