    Safe for whom? The babies? mothers? you? ;)

    Yes, it's safe. Just watch them for a bit to make they are not playing steal the pinky with each other.

    i perfer to have two mothers in one tub if they are going to pop around the same date. it allows them to work together raising the pups can give a mom a break they will work together nicely~

    It's ok and usually not an issue except most will play swap the baby :P
    We keep all of out females separate in their own birthing tubs, I've done both and I get fatter healthier babies keeping them on their own.

    Did you add cage mates right before or right after the babies were born?

    I have right now two mothers and a male in a cement tub with out problems and three and four mothers no male in 105qt tubs with no problems . Were the babies all alive, I have had mothers eat still born or non feeding/dieing babies on occasion

    Were they in tight quarters?
