Years ago I was breeding L.z. parvirura and had this problem with a few babies. The only thing for me do to, to keep them alive was to force feed them with baby food. Next year I did wait to bring them out of burmation later, this did solve the problem of no eating babies. I think the simulation of their living conditions gives the babies a chance to use what they have stored as food, plus under man made brumation, tricks their bodies into the eating mode after.

Your loss ratio is not bad at all. As painful as it is, think of it as a learning tool for next time.
