Thanks for the advice Sonya.

I did start with older males but they were only 4-5 mo old. This "go round" I'm starting with youngsters and growing them up. Right now, I'm keeping the boys and girls seperate. What age/size is best to introduce them?

Since the tubs in the rack are kitty litter pans, I try to keep one female in the tub with her babies. I'll have to swap out the males. Do I move the babies at 4 weeks then introduce the male?
