In Reply to: Opinions on putting 6month,male with 3yrMother, & 6 month daughter? posted by Monica on May 03, 1999 at 22:25:25:

I've heard of problems keeping mother and daughter together... but you seem to be doing that fine! I have two unrelated females and a male living together, supposedly they've been together for awhile... I also heard of them killing eachothers babies, but from what I'm experencing as long as there is plenty of protein and calcium in the females diet when they are w/joey and nursing it should be ok... Bumble is w/joey right now, and they are about to come OOP ( cute little arms and legs sticking out right now!!!! i'm sooo excited ) and Sassy is also with w/joeys although hers are quite as far along... when she turns a certain way you can see into the pouch and see them, but nothing is sticking out yet... I have given them their original large rubbermaid box, and I also put in two seperate fuzzy "pouches" on the walls of the cage, seems that the further along they go the more likely everyone is to sleep alone.

best luck, let us know what happens!
