yeah it was the mother to the babies, i had her for about a year and a half and i imagine she was about that old when i got her. she was doing great eating, drinking, and pooping. then last 3 days i noticed she was acting slow and i noticed her at the bottom of the cage, where i never see her. i am pretty sure she was wild caught so maybe she died of old age. i had 4 of the babies live to 4-5 months then they started to die off on me. the last one lived for about 7 months. it was a pain to run those fruit fly cultures for that long and buy pin heads for $.10 a piece to see them die off for no apparent reason. thanks for the suppourt. ill be sure to post when i make the plunge and get another one.

sorry to hear that. montanes arent that tricky, but they are different. if you decide to give it another go, your experience will have you better prepared for the next time.
if you decide to try again pm me first and i will make some recommendations as to where to get the healthiest starter animal as well as some basic info to get you off to a better start. jmo ps if you still have an interest, be sure to check out hoj"s excellent montane care sheet.
