Is it normal for these to die after the babies leave? Wild caught so I have no idea how old she is. She dropped a sack about 6 weeks ago, and it turned out bad so I threw it away about 2 weeks ago. Had it been good, I'm guessing babies would be leaving her by now.. She didn't eat with the sack(normal?), or after I took it away, and now appears to be in a death curl. I did notice she was drinking a lot, so I upped the moisture significantly in there for her, figuring it was probably my fault she lost the sack, and she kept drinking from the ground a lot, but never ate.
