So the first of my second generation finally had a litter. We'll call her "A". Her mother, "B" had a litter about the same time, and another older female "C" had a litter 2 days later.
Well A saw fit to steal everyone elses babies, and raise them herself. Thats alright. Ive had that happen before, and the other mothers are pitching in and helping her do it. Well another second generation female "D", had her litter tonight, and "A" rifles through her babies as she was having them, stealing some, and eating the rest(roughly 50% of the litter). A has shown great parenting skills, but the fact that she feels she is the only rat capable of mothering, and is eating any babies she doesnt want to take care of worries. me. Should I feed her off? Or should I let her do what she does, and hopefully she grows out of it? Opinions appreciated, thank you!
