Here are the 2 newest additions to our family. Mike & Ike both hatched this week!
(Ike on left, hatched today(70 days in egg). Mike hatched Monday (79-81 days in egg, do you count from the day they pip, or when they walk out?)
My hatchling busted out this morning, but has huge long yolk sac as in photo. Advice for taking care of this? He is on moist paper towels now.
Should I put vaseline or antibioitic ointment on it? Should I soak him? Or just try to let him be? I see conflicting advice on that in some threads...
We have our first hatchling ever, Skittles has hatched today!!!
Here you can just see the first crack yesterday morning....
Now here comes the little face....
Almost out, but not feeling quite ready to face the worlds......
Skittles is now out and about!!!
My female Mint laid 2 eggs today! This is her 2nd time laying. First time 1-1/2 years ago, eggs did not hatch. Fingers crossed for these eggs, hopefully better results, we really want a hatchling!!!! Here she is in the nesting box having just laid the 2nd..
