Do you plan to breed all the tubs at the same time or are you going to space out the breedings? By this I mean do you plan to have all 6 tubs pregnant at the same time? I will assume if so that you plan to freeze all the excess for use later. If not you will want to monitor and track not only who is where but when the male is there so you properly space the birthings.

So you don't see a lot of issues with the females as far as dragging pinks around or that sort of thing? Do they keep 3 seperate nests or just communally nurse them? Do you find they pretty much cycle closely so the three females are delivering very close to each other? Any problems with the females fighting over the young or with each other?
I don't see much consistency in between my tubs. I have some groups that pile all the pinkies together and rotate who lays on them (really cute to see a big ole pile of 30-40 pinks )
Others space out small piles of pinks (6-8 piles), while one or two tubs the mothers actually stay with just their young in seperate nests. I also have 1 tub where the girls bury all the babies in a few piles, they will unbury them to feed them then put them back. I call this tub my prissy women's group as I almost never see them just laying with the babies the girls are always off having their coffee away from the babies (but all still very good moms)

In a given tub the moms usually give birth within a day or each other. And, no I don't see any fighting over babies.
