I've only ever had two babies that were furred eaten, they were both 17 days old and I promptly removed the rest of the litter and didn't breed from that female again, that females sisters proved to be abismal mothers too, and it was a very, very tough decision to remove them from my breeding program as they were the best typed does I had at that time.

I've had first time moms eat a few newborn pinkies, and a couple of completely desimated newborn litters, but I see that as run of the mill, and usually give the girls a second chance.

I hope the rest of your argente litter does well with the nanny Sarah!

I just checked in on them when I came home for lunch and to let the hounds for a wee. The foster mother was feeding the two new babies along with hers and the original mother still has both of hers intact. I'll breathe easier when they're weaned, I think :roll:

I had a litter who was attacked and eaten at around 17 days old. The female was culled since there's no reason to keep such a mouse around. I don't know if mice can have psychiatric problems, but I think this one did.

I agree that the light baby looks like an argente creme, but I've also had pink-eyed cinnamon (A/A b/b p/p) who look very, very similar to that. Either way, if I lived in England, I'd steal her from you. ;)
