babies and dad

Question
when can I put the male babies with thier dad? we have a litter of 7 and we are keeping them all there are 4 females that will stay with mom and we were hoping to put the 3 male babies with thier dad as he is so lonely since he was removed from the females cage.. she was aggresive towards him when she had the babies

Answer
Hi Karen

I am really glad you took the male from the female. For starters, she was aggressive because she feared he would kill the pups, which is not unheard of. Also, chances he could get her pregnant are 100% after giving birth.  If he wasnt removed soon as she began to have the babies, he should have been.

Anyhow, the male pups MUST be removed from the  cage of females no later than 5 weeks old or they can get mom pregnant and also the baby females are at risk of pregnancy from 5 weeks and up.

Once the babies are weaned, you can put them in with the male.
