I learned the first year I produced these that babies and juvies are very aggressive toward each other. You won't always see the aggression but some were ballooning in size while others weren't faring as well.
Adults if kept in pairs or with no more than 1 male per cage don't have the same issue. The size of the cage may contribute to this. My adult are in 4 foot by ~20" cages and there has been no aggression for years now. I would never try to put more than 1 adult male per cage though. I don't see that ending well.
Since that first litter the babies have all been kept individually in cages similar to the adults just scaled down in size.
