Hey Brett,
Sorry to hear about that, I know you were really excited about this litter. At least you got 5 though and it looks like they have some pretty cool tails.
I'm also surprised you got premies with her going 112 days. Is it possible your count was off. I mean did you actually see her ovulate prior to that shed. There's something I've been thinking about since people keep saying their females are going way past the 105 days. Maybe the first ovulation is causing the hormones to go weird which causes the shed, and maybe there is a second ovulation after the shed. This would account for the extra time and may explain why you have premies since the second ovulation could be a few weeks after the first.
Also, my best advice to you on those premies is don't push them when it comes to feeding. The last thing you want when they are that size is a regurge.
Matt
