Sounds like the babies died. If victim collection is on carnivores will eat any dead dinos or players in your tribe and collect their inventories.

Baby raptors starve to death very quickly, don't try to name them or do anything else after you claim them, just hit esc or cancel on the naming screen and open their inventory and start shoving meat into the babies as fast as you can. (and don't hatch more than one at one at a time unless you have a tribe mate there to help feed the babies for the fist few minutes till you can get more than just one raw meat at once in the baby.

While this may be a new bug, I have not seen it reported anywhere else yet so I suspect that they died while you were in the inventories or naming screen and you didn't notice the notification. Check the tribe log and see if it tells you they starved to death.

hum would they appear in the tribe log if not claimed yet ? i don't think so.

No the one that was not claimed would not but if you managed to claim the one as your post stated, that one should show up as how it died. One other option, if the raptors are set on aggressive, I think they will attack all wild and non tribe dinos, that used to include any babies as they are not in the tribe until calimed. I know they fixed the turrents and plant x's so that they no longer attack unclaimed babies, not sure if the dinos were changed, afaik they still attack on aggressive.

Are you saying that you hatched 2 raptors and the parents killed the babies AFTER you claimed them or before? If it was unclaimed and your raptors were on aggressive, they would attack the unclaimed babies.

I'd say this bit is key. The game should literally tell you how it died, whether your raptor killed the baby or not.
