well, I looked in on them today, and 3 more were dead , and 1 almost dead.

one was partially eaten.

the eighth one I was looking for was found dead also. I was starting to think I was going to get a full batch to wean , but not so.

so I went ahead and changed the bedding and put the last 3 back in. I was going to take them out , but I don't think they're quite ready yet. 2 of them looked like they could be strong enough but the last one still kinda struggles to move around.

I still gotta figure out how I'm going to provide the water for them, since they're so small I don't think they'll be able to reach the water bottle.
