to be honest they are best housed alone as there is always the risk of one mistaking another's limb as food

i have 2 together and haven't had a problem

I believe so, years ago I had a pair and one died when he was 9 and I kept the other for two years alone before that one dieing too.

Any idea whether this was a fair lifespan?

They are probably happiest housed alone "MORE FOOD FOR ME!"

There is that limb munching problem aswell but you shouldn't have it if they are well fed.
