Just now i noticed that when Brad tried to kiss/share seeds with Sky.... Lily became very upset and kept stopping them from kissing and then they started fighting a lil! then Lily chased off Sky from Brad.... wow i wonder how come they just can't get alone? should i seperate Lily from the others?

that tends to happen when you have more males than females, so i hear. the females can get jealous and fight over the male i'm not an expert in this area, but yeah, i think your best bet would be to separate everyone....i don't know if i'd separate just lily, though, because then she might feel like she's being punished

well she is kinda be punished! She was fighting

true--but if you're going to punish her, you have to do it in the moment--that's when you would separate just her. but if you put too much time between the unwanted behavior (fighting) and the punishment (separation), then she won't understand what she's being punished for. i'd just try punishing when she fights, at first, and then if she doesn't stop, then you're going to have to separate everybody.

ok ok i get u!! but at least they listen to me when i tell them to stop when they fight'n my poor Sky
