And if you have any other females in the tank that are old enough to breed (over 7 weeks) You should remove them and put them in a separate enclosure immediately. Any other females who are ready to breed may 1) Incite the jealousy of another female and be attacked again. 2) Steal a pup and get killed by the mother. Or 3) Turn on the baby pups and kill them.
