I had a litter of pups born a few years ago in which they were eaten. I woke up in the morning and found three pups in the pond. When I got home there was only one left (I mean completely gone). The other two had been eaten.

A friend of mine had a litter of six eaten.

It happens. I don't think that it happens often. I don't know why it happens.

I never looked at my rays in quite the same way.

I was never sure if it was the male or the female.

If at all possible, I would remove the pups from the parents as soon as possible.

You never know. This happened after about six litters without incident.
