what are they doing?

Post by flip1987 »

Hi

2 days ago I noticed my male and female were in the same cave. Today they are still in there but they dont seem to be doing anything. The male just lays at the back and the female in the front.
What are they doing? Should I be getting my hopes up or are they just close friens ??
