His last gift was to leave both pregnant and now their offspring are almost ready to wean.
I intend to use a young male born from my other breeding trio, and one female from them and a female from a new litter due in a few weeks from the other trio, who now have a another new unrelated male in with them.
So the new trio will be only partially related, Or I may use two females to the male as they won't be related at all.

ANy way, I want to retire my two older females, as one is actually rather tame for an ASFR. They have a good life with hides, a wheel and good food...
Do you retire your old feeders OR do you feed them off?
My main breeder girl, will retire.
She had a group of stillborns, but is still the best mother around. I'm giving her one more shot and retiring her. :]
The others, not so sure about.
