"Hello
All,
My five pups opened their
eyes yesterday. They will be three weeks tomorrow.
I was planning on weaning
them away from Mom when they were 5 weeks and then
a week after that putting
them off into their own same sex tanks.
Anyway, I picked up my pair
and the female was already pregnant from her
brother and therefore produced
a litter earlier than expected. My concern now
is the new arrivals that
should be making their appearance any day now since
I saw Jack and Jill breeding
right after the pups were born. 24 days is the
proper gestation period
is it not? Will the mother be able to handle both
litters? I mean the pups
won't be quite 4 weeks old yet. Is it safe to leave
one of the girls with the
mom and pull the dad out next week just before the
new pups come? I realize
this may be a subject that comes up time and time
again but I need to know.
Thank you
Joe
