4 pups were born somewhere last night to today. Was busy so did not check my FGT this morning b4 leaving to office. Came back.. this evening saw 3 pups and 1 whitish ball..
3 weeks earlier than the anticipated delivery date. 1 badly munched male pup K.O..2 super healthy..and 1 consider in critical condition, peeled skin, whitish eye..and not moving so much :( Size between 3" to 3.5". The mom mated again just now..but look stress.. so need to separate tomorrow..

the critical pup.. not sure can last until tomorrow or not..
 
Hope the pup makes it, might consider a separator next time?
Congrats on the others!
 
Sorry to hear about the dead pups. Got my fingers crossed for the other two!

Good luck :thumbsup:
 
do you have any idea why it could have been premature?
 
I would say the male tried to mate her before she was ready , and leaded to her giving birth to earlier, mine did the same and i ended up with a batman ray . Sorry to here about the 2 pups, and good luck the others keep them well fed on cut up earth worms .
