I dont know if this is typical or not...but a few
times i have had to intro a male to a female with
babies already born. Both time the babies were about
2-3 weeks old. When i did this I expected the female
to be protective and aggressive..but insted they
accepted the male right off. Like i said i dont know
if this is normale or not but it has happned to me
with 3 different pairs. So what do you all think? Is
this accurate or just really strange?
