Pregnant females

Question
Could you please tell me if you can keep more than one litter in the same cage. Currently have three pregnant females and a baby female in one cage.Can they give birth and live in the same cage together or will they have to be separated. I work for a rescue center and they have just come in.

Answer
They can go in together, just make sure they get along, also make sure they are around the same due date, one female going into labor can set the others into labor early. Also remove the babies soon enough as to not impregnate other mothers or babies, all of the female can stay together, but remove the male by preferably 4 weeks but no later than 6 weeks. There is some more information on my website http://woopets.bravehost.com
