Re: mice litter
Did you see them alive or crying out for milk?

Re: mice litter
Something must not have been quite right. Either the babies where defective or the mother was stressed by something. It is not "normal" for mothers to eat their first litter but it happens

Re: mice litter
Quite possibly she was too young or not in good physical condition or just plain stressed out and that caused her to abandon her litter. I've gotten preggie rats from stores (either they didn't appear pregnant or in one case it was a rescue due to the living conditions of the heavily pregnant female rat) and it's often not a great outcome. Really young females of any species are often just not equipped to handle a birth. Hopefully she'll do better for you the next time around. Let her rest up a bit, feed her up well and then see how it goes.
