Hey all,
Had another 2 milii hatch today...
All good! Except......
This one... Seems to be fine, moving around, active, licking up water droplets, is perfect except the eye....
It looks like its eye is there but the eyelid/brow is fused over the middle of it....
Its clutch mate is perfect.....
Very odd... just thought id share....
Looks like i'll be holding this one back as a pet.... hope he can feed properly... i dont see it being any major drama....
Feel free to post your thoughts and any other similar experiences....
Cheers,
Matt

Quick question, how long after hatching do you offer their first feed ?? |

Good Luck

and usually about 5 days... though sometimes they wont feed for a while longer as they are full of yummy egg yolk when they hatch! Quote:

i got 6 clutches from 1 female (12 eggs). 1 was infertile, looked good but never formed, and 1 that went mouldy on day 5 which i removed and threw out.
so so far ive had 8 hatchies, and ive got 2 more good eggs still incubating.
my second female was useless this season, only got 1 slug from her....

was just interesting that the clutch mate that hatched on the same day was normal......
just curious as to wether or not this sort of thing is hereditary? if it was to breed later on down the track? what do you think?
cheers.
Matt

Matt | Congenital but not heritable. Not uncommon for only one sibling to be affected. Luck of the draw. |
