I have three igs housed together they all came into the house at differant times and it took about five years of slow introduction before they lived together full time in a very large encloser. The first two igs were bought as babies about a year apart. The second one turned out to be a male and extremly dificult from day one, he would not eat when anybody was around and for the first four years I never saw him eat. There was a multitude of problems w/him from day one but the thought of bringing back to the store where I got him never crossed my mind even w/the cost of vet bills the hours of force feading and the complete distaste he had showed towards me is compltely worth it. The way I feel is that once you take an animal into your home it should be there for the rest of its life know matter what. The politically corect thing might be to take your ig back as a protest to the treatment of imported igs and adopt a rescued ig but then the chances that it will get a good home are slim and will probally die a long painful death.
