I've been reading everything I can find on P. Boreus because I'm going to keep 2 together. I know there is a risk of cannibalism, but I'll keep them well fed, lot's of hides, room to burrow, use adults, heavy observation, etc., to reduce the risk. I was thinking male/female pair but, then I remembered seeing long ago that keeping same sex pairs can reduce cannibalism risk. I know females tend to eat the males more frequently. I'm not so concerned about breeding these right now as I am in learning how they do together.

I'm interested in what others who have kept pairs would suggest on the best combo. Thanks!

That's interesting, I would have imagined opposite sex would do better together. Whenever you find out post your results

Thanks! Has anybody kept two males or two females together before with good results? I'm looking for suggestions as to the best pairing for reduced risk of cannibalism.
