Hey all,

So my first clutch finally arrived! 100% het Clown x Clown. Given that I don't have an incubator I have opted for maternal incubation (I prefer to keep things as natural as possible anyways). Having read a bunch on maternal incubation I do have several questions.

1) The female and her clutch are in her tub which is bedded with aspen chips. Am I to assume that the wood will not do the babies any harm? I mean by splinters, etc.
2) Once the babies pip out, at what point can they be separated from the mother? I figure once I remove them, I can give the female a bath, change and clean the tub and then resume normal feeding with the babies in other bins.
3) Is there any problem with keeping the babies in tubs at the beginning where they do not have their own tubs? I currently don't have enough rack space for all of them if they all hatch out.

Thanks,
