Today, I removed Cherryontop from the enclosure Nova was in. He was in there earning his keep as my high red radix male breeder.
Once back in the male paddock I can see he has been in with the girls a little to long. He is being courted by a few of the other males.
I think I will take him out and give him a soapy wash-off. Hopefully that will let him smell like a male again.
