Yolk sac

[Fruitbat]

Greeetings all,

This years clutch of Jungles have hatched.

7 eggs, 5 hatched successfully. one had twins which died nearly fully formed, the other had the umbilical cord to the yolk sac tied in a knot around it's body.

Would this cause it to die from starvation or lack of oxygen or both?

Cheers,
Graham.

Look's like the little guy was like that from the beginning(had the cord around him). Best guess would be starvation, Not to sure if oxygen even comes into it until they poke out of they egg.
