My 2 1/2 week-old newborn pups are fighting, I think. I don't know if they are just playing or what but one seems to agitate the others. Should I start separating them?

They are too young to take from mum at this age. They will just be play squabbling between siblings. Leave them for now with mum who will sort them out. Have your cages ready to separate males & females at about 4 wks and get new homes lined up as they will need separate cages soon after. See breeding info section.

They are just play fighting at this age and it is very common, do not worry though pay attention to them as they can inflict little wounds at this age and rip ears etc. I would be looking to move them out of mum's cage in one week from your post, keep same sexes together for at least one week before placing them in their new individual homes if it gets too bad.
