Answer
Hi Kara-lynn

Do you know the history of the pair? Bloodlines, health issues, etc.?

At 4 the female is starting to age.  She's born with all the eggs she's ever going to produce and as females age, the risk of faders in litters increases.

My advise would be to fix the pair and enjoy them as great and cherished family pets.

Good luck
