resorption of the litter
Hi Quetzal,
​
You might look up resorption of litters which is reasonably common in mammals. Here's an image of a litter being resorbed by a mother mouse:

Top left is the full litter, bottom left is the litter being resorbed at 15 days, bottom right is 18 days. The litter is genetically abnormal so (apparently) the mother recycles them.
