If you intend to breed then yes a male can be in with more than one female I have colonies of as much as 4 female to one male

Normally a male is placed in a cage with females in order for them to breed.  Males need to stay with the females all the time unless one female has kits.  Be very careful if you intend to put a male into a cage with other chins.  They will often fight without a proper introduction.  Fighting can result in bad injuries or death.

Do you mean that you want to put a male in with females that are all in the same cage together?   Or do you mean the females all have their own separate cages in a run & you want to know if it is ok to let the male go in with each one separately when he chooses?    ~JANE*
