You only feed hay? No pellets? Could be that the doe isn't able to produce enough milk to sustain kits at that age with only hay to eat. Lactating does and kits should have unlimited access to feed with at least 16% protein.Thank you all for your genuine comments, this has been so hard and I have felt very responsible about losing the babies and was afraid people would just make me feel worse, but I need to know if there is something I can do to remedy this situation.
We have them in an outdoor cage, that has three walls (the floor is solid) and one door with mesh to allow fresh air. They always have water and hay. Although there is a possiblity of mice (we live in the country) I doubt it, just because I don't see how they would get in with the way the cage is set up.
The cage does have a divider with Daddy one one side and momma on the other, and as far as their poop, I go out there to clean their cages out. Is it possible that they got sick from the feces and all died at one time?? Like literally all over night.
