Why are you splitting them into 2 groups? Can't you introduce the 2 other current groups you have to each other?

I can't see the image, it's to small (man i'm getting more a more blind in my old age).
You can seperate the pups from there Mother any time after 5 weeks to about 7 week old.

LOL... Andrea, I had to max out the size setting on my screen in order to BARELY read the image! LOL
yeah, I'm confused too... why can't you keep the 5 together and then just make a new clan?

This is basically what the image says. I for some odd reason can read it. Dunno why, but it save you straining your eyes if I just write the info below.
F + F (Staying with Butter, their mum)
M+M (going to be introduced to 3 males from Sophie's 2nd litter, born Sept 14
M+M+M (going to be introduced to their father and 'bigger brother', from first litter)

I am soooooo sorry about the size!!! i didnt think it would turn out that small!
.... i'm seperating them into 2 groups because i tried putting the two "orignal" groups together and it did not work...( i split caged them for a month and then tried neutral ground and every thing ...)
so now im gonna have 2 groups of 5... i feel bad seperating the brothers and all... but thats all i can do for now...
from what im hearing i guess its not a good idea?!?!?!

It can be done. If you notice any soul mates with your brothers then keep them together (you can still introduce others though)

Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem. I've taken a boy clan of 7, gave 3 away, added 2 more, took one for breeding, put him back, (we're back up to 6 now) given a way 4 (2 pairs) and then one died and left just keebler. (he was later regrouped.) You do just have to make sure like Malabui said, that you watch out for the soul mates. My experience is that once you split the soulmates, it gets hard. Kinda like the saying, "As long as we have each other, we have everything." and that really keeps any problems to a minimal. Good luck, have fun!
