Mother mice may eat their offspring under certain circumstances, a behavior known as filial cannibalism. This can occur if the mother perceives her litter to be too large to care for, if the pups are weak or sickly, or if the mother is stressed or malnourished. By consuming some of her young, she can conserve resources and improve the survival chances of the remaining pups. Additionally, this behavior can help eliminate potentially unhealthy individuals from the litter.
