Default Re: Keeping a male and female together (moved post)

If you got them from a pet shop then they're not WW but Russian hybrids (cross WW & Campbells) accidental litters from hams that are pregnant when you bring them home can't be helped but breeding hybrids carries a lot of risks for both mother & pups so you should really take every precaution to be sure there are no more litters.

I was wondering how long did you give the male to adapt to the change when you separated him & what kind of enrichment/stimulation you provided him with, it can take a while for them to get used to a change like that but they usually do & there are plenty of things you can do in their environment to make it interesting for them to get them coming out more although some males can be a bit lazy & if they have a food bowl & cosy nest are happy to stay in bed most of the time!
