Hi Lisa, how very sad and disappointing to lose the litter, especially your
first.
According to this (wonderful) web site on breeding:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/9792/how2breed.html
it is very common to lose a litter of two and even more so of a single pup. I
guess they don't generate the body heat to keep warm.
My first litter was a litter of two. On one occasion the mom was obsessing about
gnawing up a box and left them for a several hour period. They got very cold.
Fortunately, I found them in this state and has a reptile clamp lamp and 40 watt
grow bulb on hand (to heat the area to 80 or so degrees).
Again I am so sorry about the loss of your little pups, Donna
