It depends who you talk to .Also depends on the females behavior around
the babies is she clumsy or careless crawling over them.
Also helps if they are all on Aspen substrate.
I just left all my babies in on my recent litter 5-13-09 and I had no problems.
In fact I decided to leave them in even after they shed their first shed.
I took them out Tuesday and offered their first meal ,the 10 that ate went back in with mom.
The other 6 have been put in separate containers.
This Female of mine has behaved very nicely towards me.
From the start of birth I was able to reach in and touch babies during birthing.
Immediately After being born she let me take one at a time out
inspect them and put them back in.
She watched every move I made and appeared to keep track as I
removed and replaced babies.
I didn't think they had the capacity to exhibit this type of
behavior,this is part of the reason I did the experiment.
This female was the perfect chance also, it's possible I will not
have a chance to do this again with any other fem.
I will slowly extract the others soon but this fem enjoys having her babies .
Its quite obvious how proud or happy she seems.
Its a tough call you can loose babies by leaving them in with the wrong fem.
This is just my opinion,I think people will agree in most cases
you are better off either removing the mother
or removing the babies.
