Well 2 of my girls have been sharing duties with 6 eggs for the past few weeks. 1 hatched today but when i got home from work Mum had taken it outside the hutch and it must have been unable to get back up the ramp. When I found it, it is same color as the sawdust in the run and was extremely difficult to see, it was icy cold but still alive. I have popped it back under Mums who seem to be sitting nicely on it but am not too hopeful that it will survive. Not having much luck with these little darlings, have hatched over 30 LF in past couple of months but just cant seem to get it right with these. Fingers, and toes, crossed it will pull through.

Hi this little one is rushing about today in the hutch eating and drinking and looks non the worse for wear. A brother or sister has also hatched today and again was cold and lifeless in the hutch next to the little silky, sat on remaining eggs, while little yellow was out eating its lunch with mottled Mum. Popped it back under the silky who didnt seem very bothered by it. Waiting again to see if it survives the night. This is much more stressful than the LF in the incie as these seem much more precious.

That's good news. Once they start eating and drinking the sense of relief is overwhelming.
