ok to start off with you can ever leave the pups attached or remove them the mother will cope with nthem attached as the mother at a sertain age of the pups will stop sending nutriants to them.

or you can remove wich i have been told if you remove them when there 1/3 the size of its mother but i rather wait till it has at least 3-4 leafs. to remove them you can eaver snap them off, but some times you can ruin the head of the pup by doing this, or you can get the secateurs and cut a about one centermeater away from the motheror right up close to her depending how far the pup has shot out the closer it is the closer you cut to the mother.

hoped that helped. just notice you live in australia were abouts do you live, i live on the mid north coast. would love to see your collection.

Thanks Phil
