Their mum ate them. I was keeping quiet because I didn't want to ruin the fluffy news; but animals aren't teddy bears I guess. The Curator of Mammals himself explained to me this sort of thing is not so unusual. Conditions have to be right for babies to be reared, and apparently they weren't in this instance. Nout to do with captivity, we had a successful litter last year.
We have new baby otters however, born roughly the same time, though their mum will be keeping them from view for at least four more weeks! :)
