So one of my females had her first litter today. I kept a close eye on them to see what they would do. At first everything seemed fine. All three were laying together with the pinks, cleaning them off and moving them back to the pile if they strayed, but then one of the females (the one who is still preggo, has not had her litter yet) took one of the pinks and just started eating it...Alive. I didn't think much of it until she took a second one and started eating that one too!
I removed the cannabalistic female and put her in her own tub.
I just want to confirm with the rest of you that this is the best thing to do? The other momma seems to be doing a good job with her babies (not eating them) and the male is taking care of the babies as well.
Thoughts?
