The male likely died of ........ , the female probably had nothing to do with it, and the female did what comes naturally, she was cleaning up........

I agree with the pp dad prolly died of something... petstore mice tend to be really good at dying from what seems like nothing... and mom was "cleaning" youll find taht most rodents do this.... so if you try again buy from soemwhere else and dont put them with "mom" until at least 30days by then if she either was going to die of soemthing they would have... GL!

Yeah this happened woth my rats a while back, it could be because the male was sick and died and she was cleaning his dead body.
I don’t think mice are canniballs so there had to be some reason for this.
