Caat99F1 had her litter sometime while I was in Florida from monday morning to late afternoon tuesday. When I discovered them many of them were already dispersed around the cage.
The rest of the litter was in the nest box where they had apparently been born.
There were 5 stillborns and a few healthy babies in the box along with the usual big mess of slime. The babies that were out of the nest box were dry and had already lost their umbilicals. Total count was 13 healthy babies and 5 stillborns. The babies are very big with the largest one at 36 grams. This litter is 124 days POS with gestation in the very high high 70s to low 80s. Two of the stillborns were inside the membranes with extremely large yolk material. The other three stillborns were out of the membranes. No slugs were found though they may have been devoured. Judging by the way Caat99F1 looked a couple days ago I was expecting a very large litter. She now looks very plump for a new mom so I suspect she devoured a bunch or slugs.
