Well done tree. Has the Mac noticed any of the hatchies yet? If so, is she showing signs of noticing something is terribly wrong with her babies. Either way great story and thanks for sharing.
that's awesome Tree!!! I'm really happy for you that everything has worked out for you so far. Please keep us updated as to the progress of these little guys.
So far only one has fully left the egg; with another seven with their heads poking out.
I actually watched one slit the egg before.....I was amazed at how fast it did so.
The mother doesn't seem to have noticed that their not her young; however I will remove her a bit later;
just for safety sake....I don't think I'd like to see her consume any of the young; as she seems rather keen for a feed; my hand doesn't seem to be quenching her appetite :lol:
With others we've allowed to maternally incubated in the past; we normally remove the mother after most have either left the egg; or have at least pipped...
Only two to go; so all has gone well so far
