Donna,
None of my females get pregnant right after birth. I
always read that they mate right after having the pups
and then she ahs the new babies soon after the first
litter stops nursing. This has never happned to me!
Mine always take FOREVER to have the next litter. My
female Clytemnestra had her first litter (3 pups) late
last december and she is just now about to have her
second litter. Also my babies (all of them from all
the different litters) have stopped nursing well
before 4 weeks and never done it again. Since i am a
new breeder i have only had 3 litters all with
different mothers..but everything i have stated has
happned with all 3. Hope this helpped any.
