Overwintering female/male siblings

[olorin19]

So, Arya & Iggy are about 3 1/2 months old.

That age is based on my guess of 5-6 weeks old when we first got them on 8/31 - eyes open but tails not really bushy.



My plan is to overwinter them for a spring release.

In any case, they have shared a cage since then, and up until recently have been best buddies - lots of playing around together, always sleeping together, etc. Iggy (male) is a bit larger and does tend to take food from Arya (female).

Today, however, Iggy is really bullying Arya - chasing her around constantly, with her making scared noises, both chattering, and Arya trying (without much success) to hide.

Do they need separate cages at this point?

I've overwintered two male singletons, so this is new territory for me.

Thanks!
