well i had my first litter of the year .. it was my male hypo nic to my best looking highest contrast female nic., the litter was premature...

she had

1 still born hypo nic
1 hypo baby born with no eyes
1 hypo baby born with its brain developed out of its head, which was even still alive..
About 10 unfertilized eggs
3 live babies - not including the live one with no eyes ..

only two of the babies are alive and well at this point ...

My questions are .. What are the causes of premature birth? what are the possible causes of deformities? is it due to heating? feeding? Lighting? water? etc...

i would really like to get any insight and i understand that their might not be any definite answers for the causes .. but any thoughts would help .. THANKS ...
