Dead babies

I was cleaning the rat rack today and one of my asf had 9 babies last week. This is her first litter and I found 4 dead this afternoon. They were doing really well and the other 5 seem heatlhy as can be. I dont know why the 4 passed away. Is it normal for some to die in there first litter?

Yeah with some first timers this can happen. what is your ratio?

1 male 2 females

don't sweat it man, sometimes first time mamas do this she should be better her next time around :oops:

Thank you!

next time around all the babies should live. If not, feed em off.
