Thanks Karen for your help. I am worried though about seperating them and then re-introducing. Won't the Dad be more aggressive if that is what is happening? I know one thing for sure...Daddy is getting fixed. Can't stand thinking this could happen again. And hopefully she is not already pregnant again.

Cute names by the way. ;o)
Take care and I appreciate your reply.
Patty

: Sorry about the joey. I didn't see this message before I answered the first one. At this point I would not hesitate to separate dad. I really don't think he was the cause of the joey's death from what you've related. At least that way mom will be alone to concentrate on the remaining joey. Especially since she's pretty snippy with dad.

: Eventhough they are communal, I personally don't think it will do any harm. You can re-introduce dad in a few weeks when the joey is more self-sufficient.

: Look forward to hearing how things turn out.

: My last joey's name is Patty. From the Peanuts cartoon strip. I also have Charlie Brown, Linus and Patty's mom Lucy.

: Good luck.

: KarenE.
