I know that other animals (esp dogs and cats) will sometimes kill their
offspring. It is also an inherited trait. Of course, in the wild
something like that wouldnt get passed on, but is very easy to do in a
breeding program.
I would say that she is probably confused/doesnt understand those weird
noises so attacks them.

Wish I could help, but this is the best I can do.
