I keep 1.4 in each cage and separate the females from the male at cage cleaning if they are pregnant. I then add in females that have finished raising their litters to build back up to 1.4. They don't always go back with the same male, but that has never been a problem. I keep up to 3 females and their young in a cage until the young are all weaned or fed off. This method has ended all killing and allows the females to put all their energy to raising their young.
