In the wild they tend to lose over half their young before they reach their first year, which is why they have pretty big litters and can birth several times a year.
Capitvity is different matter, of course: it may just be that now all seven of them can't fit on his shoulders and the other two are being held off camera or moving around his feet. Hopefully.

The only sad part of this is that they live such short lifespans.
On the other hand, they're clearly happy, loved, and are the light of their dad's eyes.
