    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?
