Question
Hi I have a mother and daughter mini rex (black otters) that are currently living in a hutch and large run combo.

I want to breed them next year for show stock, is it possible to let them have their litters together?  I have heard of this working for some people.

if not, can i reintroduce them together after they have been bred? they are bonded well at the moment. mum is 9 months and daughter 3 months.

many thanks

Answer
They will need to be separated before being bred. After bred they will not be able to be kept together, because likly they will fight. Since daughter is only 3 months then she will need to be taken away from mom soon anyways, because once she is fully mature, they may start fighting anyways.
