When it's close, it's a good idea. If you are checking in everyday, I think it would be fine to wait for the birth. But if its close, it wouldn't hurt. They will be more nervous when they have slings on their back, so I always separate, though I've never noticed mothers eating slings either, but supposedly it happens soo....

I almost always move the female. If anything it makes seperating the babies much easier.
