why do does eat their young?
i lost a few out of my first litter, the four survivors are ok though, but very nervous and dont like to be handled.
the next doe i left in the group and all the pinkies were gone by day 2
with the next two does i seperated them into theri own tank, and by day 3 i have no pinkies again.
has anyone got any ideas why this could be happening?
the does are from different places, they are well fed, in large cages, are in a room away from my large scary cats, have adequate water and nesting material and i dont poke at them all the time.
never had this happen when i used to breed meesers before :evil:
