I would also have to think that it's possibly your lines. Have you had your adults tested for LS?
No, not yet. That used to have a very low priority for me as the lady I got them from knew the lines for 5 generations and had no knowledge of any reports of LS. It is very possible these babies were pushed away from the food as they were the smallest but I free feed so there was always food down. Because of the tiny ones, I wet the kibble to make it soft enough they can get it into their mouths. Sylvia
