No they're still inside her x.x she couldn't push them out and died. I can feel them in her

If the other females are having babies they will likely foster those (hard to tell with a colony that is not well established), it will also depends on how many babies they give birth to and their ability to produce enough milk for their own babies plus extras.

Oh! Hm... that's going to have to be a personal call. You could try saving them, but I suspect the odds are against them surviving. All you can do is try, however, and if you don't, they are guaranteed to die. If it were me, I would do it. Slim odds are better than none.

Re: Mouse in labor!
Csection was quick and easy. No Pups to be found, which makes me feel better. Less of a loss that way.

Whew! No need to worry about them, or wonder. Horrible that she died, but I don't think there's much of anything you could have done to help her.

Afraid not. I'm sad, yes, but these things happen in breeding I guess

I'm sorry to hear your one momma didn't make it, congrats on the other pups!
I had a *gigantic* female mouse die before going into labor, I did a necropsy and there were 17 fetal mice inside 5 of which were ectopic (outside the uterus) which explained the death. Some very odd things can happen during breeding.
