So my orange garter gave birth 4 days ago to 2 dead babies. Tonight she gave birth to about 4 more and they are all dead, only these ones looked well developed. I am optomistic that somehow the best is yet to come and that she will give birth to some lively lil scrubs. I can be positive all I want but at this point is it safe to say the rest of the litter is going to result in the same? I am definitely not off to a good start. So frustrating this was the litter I was the most excited about since she was orange and I wanted to raise all the babies.
