I too have had females eat thier hubby. And have witnessed the picking the bones clean thing..it is pretty nasty. I never housed mine in big groups, the largest I ever had was one male to 3 females.

Also, if you put the male in with the female and she is still nursing or they are still very young, do be watchful cause males will kill off spring that are not thiers, it is fairly common even in rats.

yes i agree... so i was careful. the babies are and new 'papa' are doing well. he curled up and let them sleep on top of him LOL

i planned on putting him in a tank by himself until the pups were weaned... but 'something' told me it would be okay... and i always listen to that 'little voice'. :)

i'm so surprised to hear this about females and males... i'm so glad i've never experienced this myself!
