I need some help or advice.

I am getting some ackie's soon. What i need to decide is if I should get 2 or 3.
Does it make a difference or not. I have been reading that they should be kept is groups of 3-5. Does this mean that I rather should go for 3 instead of 2.

Any recomendations will be appreciated. Is there any books that can be recommended?

thanks

paul

We keep a group of 1.2 adults. I would hate to be a lone female in a cage with an amorous male, they can do a lot of biting etc.. Last yr. our male bit both females front legs while mating, one of the females got an infection which was pretty scary but healed up eventually. For that reason I would get at least 3. They are great monitors and I recommend them.
