People only said it cause it seemed unlikely and its taken ages to get a picture/response Don't take offence!

Yes, it is often forgotten that most people have jobs, family and other responsibilities that prevent them from visiting online forum everyday. Unfortunately judgement is quickly delivered when someone stops responding (or simply a bit slow) without any consideration given that there might be a good reason behind it As said, please don't take offence.

I keep them in an outside pit with a heated hide box for winter, so I check them every day, during delivery times I remove the babies as they are found ,it is hard to tell which mothers have which baby, when more than one Arrives at a time. My females seem to go down in the tail but never go to thin they eat to much(a little chunky) do they or the others eat the slugs? As I don't remember seeing any. I have 9 in the colony.

usually the mums woof the slugs,though any will given the chance,its like first in best dressed so to speak,lol

a little chunky is good,helps them recover enough before brumation,especially when kept outdoors and having babies late in the year,probably not as big an issue in brissie ,lol, down here its often getting quite cool by then

sounds like u have them set up perfectly to me,not much thats sweeter than new born stumpies i reckon,especially tiny ones,lol
