    tail chewing?

    One of my 1.3 groups has a litter that is about 2 weeks old. I went to change the substrate yesterday and noticed that all of the babies had the tips chewed off their tails. They were all slightly bloody. Its not a significiant part of their tail, but enough to notice. Anybody seen this happen before? Should I just feed off the babies to avoid infection and such?

    That is just weird. I would feed everyone (especially the parents) off and start over.
