• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Births and Deaths - the bad news - warning, dead neonates pics

Usually having a large litter is counter predation, not to adjust for health issues.

Have you tried speaking with someone who does breed them successfully, so see what feedback they offer? I'd actually e-mail three or four people to see if they have any special tricks, or have seen the same thing.

As you don't have specialist vet, is there maybe a local university with a biology department that might be willing to dissect a deceased animal? Even if they aren't experts, anything obvious should stand out, especially if photos are taken during the process. They might even do it for free.

Finally, are there more than one subspecies of this species? Any maybe crossing them does not work? (I realize that's a stretch, just throwing it out there.)

Best of luck to you and the last baby -- again, glad to hear he ate!
