I only do this once every two weeks because it will cause quit the disturbance and you wanna give these guys as much privacy as possible.
I've seen those videos on youtube too. I'm unsure about my ability to do this safely and without losing any. Damn cats. So for now, I wait til I see them all (babies) huddled together, and I can get a couple litters that way, tho I have to get adults out of my way sometimes. Luckily, they don't care about protecting the little ones anymore. It can take a while, but I'm getting better at it. I try to keep up with it. But I probably won't ever have the massive colony that would require filtering. Tho I can definitely see how it'd be helpful.
What's the lag time between a female (obviously) giving birth and getting pregnant again?
