Babies killed mother from inside pouch? - 01/11/02 06:09 AM
I'm not sure how to explain this: I came home this evening to find my female (who just yesterday was completely normal) lying on her back at the bottom of the cage with one of her small babies lying dead beside her, and the other clawing at her from the inside. She was all but dead, and the young one was detached from the nipple and so far down the pouch I couldn't get to him, though I think any effort to save him would have surely been in vain, he was still quite small (about the size of the first knuckle on the pinkie). My question is what in God's name happened, and what could I have done? There were NO signs whatsoever to indicate illness. This is terrible. Very shocking.<p>[ 01-11-2002: Message edited by: Bryan_T ]</p>
