Stefan's garters

[Stefan-A]

Judging from the picture it seems as though the dead haven't been dead for very long. Any stillborns I have got in the past were almost always born first, but fully developed and normal looking. As if the sac broke early and they suffocated inside the mother. Any theories why this happens? Why many still borns look like they died mere hours from birth?

As for the total number, that's weird. Unless she's holding more and they are dead too.

Those two were lying on top of the heat pad, underneath the paper towels in the birthing enclosure. Hence the speculation that they might have been killed by crushing and/or heat shock.

Not a bloody clue as to what the cause might be.
