Question
My 1 years old female has a litter at the moment but she fights with my 3mounth old female but they both attack each other and my 3mounth old attacks the babies, i think that is because she is partly blind. i was wondering if there was any was they could become friends that could live togther?

Answer
Hi Marissa,

the short answer is possibly.  Both would have (HAVE!!!) to be spayed and given 4-5 weeks of separation from each other after their operations before even trying to bond.  Two females will tend to fight more often than male/female bonded pairs, just like two males will also.

Your 3 month old gal should not be in the same cage as the mom and her babies.  You must separate them.
