Subject: When to remove the mom?
> Blossom (mother gerbil) is housed with her 2 six week old pups (one male
> and one female). The father was removed before the birth of the pups
> and Blossom is NOT pregnant with a second litter. I would like to keep
> Blossom with the pups for a little while longer, but am afraid that she
> might get competitive about the male pup and harm the female pup once
> the litter approaches maturity. My question is:
>
> At what age (of the pups) do I need to remove the mother from the
> litter?

> Thanks! Donna A.
