I would agree on that point, but it seems like the difference is made up with the lack of killed babies and increased growth rate of the litter. Also, I seem to get larger litters when the females are separated for a while. I also compensate by having extra females to ensure that I always (or almost always) have 1.4 in the breeding racks. So, while I only have 5 males, I have 30 or so females. Admittedly, I have a small breeding colony, so my observations may be a little skewed.
