Last night one of my females dropped her babies(mostly ovum). It was sad to see her work so hard and push out 8 unfertilized and only 3 babies. 1 of the babies was too small and is dead this morning. Another is full term but showing no signs of life and the other is small but very active. They are all still in their yolk sac. Should the bigger one be moving or how long will he stay in this state, He does not move if you touch him, although he had moved yesterday. The little one has a ton of yolk left and quite a bit of fluid in the sac with it. Are these guys doomed? This was her first litter, are these low rates my fault or typical?

thanks Matt
