    babies and up

    I currently have a 1.3 adult colony that had three litters in the past month.
    The first set have been weaned for a week or so, the second are close, and the third was just born.

    The problem Im having is that every few weeks one of the babies are being consumed by an adult. Woke up this am to find a weaned being eaten so I go to move the last 3 of them and they are all males so I won't bother and the others arent ready yet.

    Why are the parents eating them???? They have plenty of food and all three females are nursing.
    Should I move the 3 and would it be possible to introduce females a later time? The females would all be siblings
