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.
That's so interesting and sad! I will miss her, but it just left me space to hold back another female. If the litter allows, I'll be culling all but 3 females.
