Big and beautiful. Seems to be a perfectly healthy radix.

I wonder about several things... calcium deficiency in the mother could set the babies up to die. Uterine infection can also create weak, infected babies... and then if I am reading this right, you did not lose any worm eaters - possible that some of the gups had a disease?

As always, great questions and insite. I've kept the babies in the freezer. Not sure what I can do since it's a needle in a haystack, in my opinion. Not to metion the money it would take.
I know that these deaths would have probably occured in the wild and possibly quicker. I still don't feel right that they occured on my watch. That's the part of this whole experience I don't like. I accept the fact that these deaths will always occur but I still don't like it and wish I could help these little scrubs in some way.
