Default Squabbles

I started separating out the boys from the girls in the litter and it seems the boys have spats now when I never really noticed before. Is this normal? Eventually they all end up nesting together but I worry about bullying by the larger males. They will be 4 weeks Thursday. Thanks

It may well be worth separating them again, perhaps but the larger boys into a group alone, and the smaller boys into a group alone? This young they shouldn't really be fighting but larger pups can be known to bully the smaller ones a bit and as they will be maturing more soon, you should definitely keep an eye on it or feel a lot better just making another group.

I may do that today. I jus wasn't sure how small of a group would be okay. I know they are too small to be alone but if it keeps up the biggest might get a space to himself. It's really hard to know what the right thing to do is with these little ones.
