Sorry to hear about the babies...happy to hear about the thriving two.
You did nothing wrong. Three breedings is quite exceptable. You can breed only once and get tinies who fade and die. You might want to learn to tube feed. It is the surest way to save a healthy tiny who is not nursing well..nothing will save all, but some can be saved from time to time.

It is of little comfort, but I rather see them go early then hold on for a couple weeks then die. Nothing worse then getting them to live for 8 or 10 weeks then having them die..I hate that.
