Trevor thank you so much for your quick replys and much needed help. I could be wrong but i did not see them fight over the babies but obviously they did because the other mama ended up with 2 babies from the other. i do have the space to separate them but how about the male, is he ok to stay with the mamas? i have a 1.3 colony with a 3 tub rack so i will put one female in each tub.
