I asked some time ago advice on getting only one baby, today one of the females died. I had stopped putting them in the brooding water tank, and left them only with there water dish.
I did a necropsy on the dead female(this used to be my job at the University)There were 22 babies many with legs already. I think that she died due to having nowhere to drop the young. The ones closest to the cloaca were decaying while those further up were freshly dead. Could this be the problem? I put the other female in the brood tank, hopefully this will help. Now all that said it could be the heat as well. It was hot for a couple of days, and my basement got warm. Any advice would be appreciated.
