Natasha laid her eggs

Congrats on the eggs! I usually offer food 3 days after laying as they seem pretty wore out initially afterward. What was she bred to?

I candled them all and they are all fine - except for number 2 which is another half veined one to keep me chewing my fingernails. :rolleyes:

The rollout has some lovely veins in it but I labled it "egg 0" just in case.

She was really sweet and only hissed at me a couple of tmes when I was taking her off of them. :wuv:

there was one hairy moment when I realised I had mis-measured the box sizes for the "not-proffesional-enough-to-be-called-an-incubator-bator"

But I managed to get away with it by squishing the ones without lids slightly. :oops:

I think the time for an upgrade has come. :rolleyes:

And here is the skinny momma just before her bath - she is down to 1257g so I will try a mouse or two tonight before thinking of going back up to rats.

Congrats :gj:

Thanks folks,

She has already had a medium F/T mouse about three hours ago. :)

I always like to give them a small meal after laying to get the digestive juices flowing without straining them - then she will still be hungry in 5 days or so when I'm happy everything is working as it should and offer a small rat. :gj:

Daddy is probably the normal male but , just possibly, the lesser platinum.

I'm just happy neither female that laid this year tried to bite me at all and only hissed a few times. :snake:

I'm hoping it is my habit of opening the tubs every morning and giving everyone a little rub on the back then closing them again. By the time they realised something different was happening this time I had them off the eggs and halfway to the holding tub. :ninja: :P
