  3. hi lynnie, congrats one of my females is holding for the first time i am just letting her do her thing until i am sure she is carrying young then will seperate her i like my females to raise a batch or 2 by themselves, it is just a personal feeling but i think stripping females for the first few times can possibly lead to them not holding well in the future again it is just my thoughts good luck with her
