One of my females had her first litter Friday morning. I didn't get a good look but I'm assuming there were about 10 babies. Throughout Friday, and over the weekend, I would continually see one of two new dead babies that she tossed out of the nest. Needless to say, slowly and gradually all the babies are now dead. She, along with the other female and the male, seemed to be doing a great job mothering the babies. But it just seemed like every so often a baby got buried under the bedding, or there would simply be a dead baby on the outskirts of the nest...

I feed Mazuri lab block. They have plenty of room, a wheel, things to chew.

Any thoughts? Do you think that was more or less do to this being her first litter? Or do you think there are other issues at hand?


Thanks!
