Doesn't look like you've lost any.
Well, it seems no lost, but one of them is growing slowly compared to the others (I mean not healthy slow growing).

They look great :clap:

You do sometimes get a runt of the litter and usually they catch up but sometimes they just don't compete for food and end up wasting away :cry: I try and remove bigger ones out to give the smaller ones a chance.
