Welcome to the forum delboy.

Ronnie could be bigger than reggie if he is the older of the two, getting more food, or if from different parents. It is amazing how even just one or two days apart in hatching, the difference in size is.

It would depend on how large the cage is that you will be keeping the 2 ringies in if they can be caged together for comfort and space. Also on how well they both get along. I keep all my babies together until there is too much aggression between them, then I separate if needed.
