Hello, they will still fight over the babies, ones that seem to be the problem makers I normaly get rid of some are worse then others but even the best will still do it just not as aggresivly, as far as placing the male back in with the female if they have been seperated for any amount of time I wouldnt, he'll kill the babies, the only time a male should be around babies is if they have been in he same cage since birth, even then the male will eat alot of the babies, i breed 1.2 to a cage and remove the male when they are ready to drop, I get alot higher production and less canoblism, once the litters are weened I reintroduce the male, the females fight alot less, I get longer breeding life out of them and this way the litters are born within a day or two of each other, the other thing you can try as well is place your females in a 10gal or something that size my rack units are all large cat pans, the smaller cage restricts the females and they tend not to try and steal each other babies and run with them, but lay togther side by side with the pups, Hope this help Jason ----- Jason & Danica
