well I can honestly say I have never had a momma seperate her litter up when there was only three... usually only happens (ime) when its a litter over 10 that way she doesnt have 10 babies on her at all time lol... but as long as everyones getting fed I wouldnt worry... its probably just a response to half her litter going missing.... she may thing that youre less likely to find all of whats left if its not all in one spot lol... so like i said as long as everyones taken care of I wouldnt worry :)
