Yes they eat low protein diets... but ANY pregnant/ lactating mammals need extra during that time

That's why u up protein mid pregnancy, milk bones are great for that. Or literal protein powder on their food but a very small amount.

my mom never went to college thank you very much.

Or just use quality rodent block, but some don't do either... so that's why it is sometimes an issue.
No one can really say for sure why it happened... but to cover all the bases is needed.
I do agree that excessive inbreeding can play a part... but you can't say it "is" the reason

Yeah def I think I should get a rb. I meant it could be a reason. I don't remember what I said now.

Didn't say that was the only reason but if you read more of what the op said they have plenty of food and water plenty of space. Actually I read the inbreeding thing from the site owners FAQ.

Show me in this thread where the OP said "they have plenty of food and water or space"? And Im not saying they didnt, Im sure the OP does take care of them. But nowhere in this thread did the OP mention that. Now as for the link you provided me...nowhere in there does it mention about mother eating their young, but I did find this for you: pregnant and nursing moms need additional protein and fat at this critical time. Boosting their diet should start half way through pregnancy and last until after they wean their young. Now if this has not been met, then it is possiable that the mother did eat her young to get the additional protein she needed.

I dont totally disagree with the fact that over the years it "could" or "possiably" play a part, but the OP said they have only been breeding for 6 months.

I doubt its inbreeding, I would say in no particular order
Lack of adequate food/ water
Boredom/lack of exercise
Lack of spacs

We actually have no idea of the OP's setup, food or anything for that matter,....

I didn't say you said anything about protein someone else did. Read the whole thread instead of picking pieces to pick at. And there wouldn't be an obvious sign of inbreeding like there would be when you starved them now would there?

It was you:

"I literally just read that excessive inbreeding can cause that to happen. Cant figure out where so I cant link you so just ask Google. Its not the most common reason though. And more often than not its because the babies are weak. Not because they need protein. Also increase protein halfway through pregnancy with a milk one for dogs. If you have more than one male with the pregnant female that can also cause this to happen. But the mothers being hungryfor protein is a grossly over used assumption. They eat LOW protein diets."

It could be anything. Just happens!

Post a pic of your Setup. Enclosure, water and food delivery, etc ...
