The one 8,535 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 totally up to you are your jills used to living with each other do you think they will be comfortable with each other when having kitts Quote Link to post

lorelei0922 2 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 they love it mate they are sisters so i would think they will be ok together but i was just wondering if this would be a bad idea. ive got two cages. thanks liam Some say its a risk... that they may take exception and eat the litter once they become mums... But some have great success and very healthy litters with jills who share the responsibility, cleaning, caring and if they are due the same time nursing each others litter... the only draw back in that is telling the litter apart if you have future plans for breeding its up to you... probably would be just fine.. but be aware that there are SOME risks Quote Link to post
