That almost sounds like a previous pregnancy that failed to deliver or abort, with the formed bones, limbs and fur still there and the internal organs gone. But, it could have been superfoetation, I guess
Ever see what poision does to a mouse? Kind of dries it up and leaves the other shell.
That's what I felt it was like at the time.
Jo Ann she did deliver on her due date, her second or 3 litter I believe, it was the only pair I had at the time. It came after the kits, and I first misstook it for the after birth.
A clump in a dark corner on the floor of the cage.When she expelled a smaller clump I took it out to investagate. By this time it had dried some, but yes it was in a sack slightly torn up, so I just pealed it back and could see the full figure of a kit. Dry as a bone, and just like all the insides had been sucked out of it. It seemed perfectly formed.
It was the only set of triplets from this pair ever, I just figured something was wrong with the 3d and mother nature took care of it, or it was to much for the dame in question.
The reason I'll never know, but believe it to be from the same litter.
I was on chin Singapore at the time with Betti C. and Chinster, they told me what it was, and what they knew about it at the time. Geez must have been 2000 ,maybe 2001.
I have never seen anything like it sense.
Yes fill us in, what did the xray show, we're all on pins and needles now
