Yep they're all so cute *G* My babies are all under a year and we currently have two tanks of litters and one is expecting again (babies are nearly 4 weeks old) I am watching them closely.

If all else fails, I guess I'm a >good one for it.....I'm a (human) labor and delivery nurse! :o) Just making sure *G* That's good news on dad so she's not likely pregnant again. I'd try the split cage method and then when your babies are about 6-7 weeks old move the boys in with dad. Using a split cage method and swapping them back and forth for a few days. Then when you think all will be well removing the split and introducing them. Jenn
