is this usual?

hi again just an update and a couple of questions  ....   Blanche's two pups are doing very well and are starting to show some fur.  according to gercalc I could expect both golden agouti and grey agouti from this pairing and it seems that I have one of each!   Shy (definitely female!!) had four pups on Thursday in the same nest as Blanche and they seem to be getting on very well. I have observed both of them looking after the others pups.   Questions:   everything I have read and the advice given to me by the list members (thank you for that) says that I shouldn't have two females together! (for breeding) They seem to be getting on just fine should I leave them together?   shy and blanche are not related in anyway....indeed they were introduced to each other when blanche was a few weeks old and shy was fully grown (shy and bob (the male) where purchased as fully grown (bob is enormous) and I suspect that they are either littermates or father and daughter.  should I be breeding from them?     please see my previous mail to the list for a description of their gerbilarium.
