Not great but also not nearly as bad as it could have been. I guess more like a 2 1/2, something did go wrong and she did lose a fair amount but still managed to deliver some healthy babies.
(what I listed as possibilities yesterday)
1) She just slipped some out while trying to void her waxy stool. Still a decent litter inside that will come when ready.
2) Same as 1 but a less than stellar litter.
3) Something went wrong and she lost the whole litter, soon to be left for me to cry over and clean up.
4) Something really bad went bad and I could end up losing Wilma as well as the litter.
Tuesday she dropped two stills and two slugs.
Wednesday - no change.
Thursday at lunch - still nothing yet.
Thursday after work, she finally dropped her load. Did not look good going into the cage has she was in the water bowl and a few stills and slugs were on the paper. I did find a live one right away next to the stills so I new fairly soon it wasn't all bad for the babies. She dropped what looked like most of it in the hide. Found a total of....
9 babies (one even bit me)
7 more stills (9 total)
7 more slugs (9 total)
So I guess this was a niner litter? 
No pics yet, will get some later.
