When you separated them how much did your production go up?

I keep mine together full time right now but have pondered pulling the females. The thing is, the difference between 10 babies and 13 is not significant given the extra time and space needed to house the moms individually.

Now if litter size went up to 15 or more, that may make a difference.

thanks in advance
