Hi Bob, Please think about this, husbandry advances are made by taking reponsibility for the animals we keep. For instance, the little fella did not turn in, instead of out and drown itself. What actually occurred was, it failed. The reason it failed is unknown.

Unhealthy adults, poor nesting, poor incubation all contribute to weak, dead, deformed neonates.

Again, I have no idea what caused your loses, but as the keeper of those animals, you are responsible for what happened. You can question what occured and learn from those events(maybe over time) Or simply blame the animal, which teaches you nothing.

I would think its lungs failed, which is fairly common and preventable. Best of luck
