Not looking good.. Deformed hatchlings

I don't think they could smell them. My clutch of deformed babies acted like they wouldn't move. Until the rat pinkie was in there crawling. And they seem to run away from them. Do whatever you can to make them feel comfortable. They are such a wonderful clutch. I do hope for the best.

This clutch definitely brings me back to a sad place. I remember holding all 6 babies of mine and looking at how beautiful they are.

So sad.

If they just shed a day or so ago then it's too soon to try feeding them. Once they shed they go into their own tubs in a hatchling rack, wait a week, then offer the feeder.

Even perfect babies can take a few weeks after shedding before they decide to eat.

Did the final baby end up passing as well?

Yes, just a day after the others did. Some of them turned reddish pink within hours after dying. My boyfriend's Dr. brother said it sounded like hemorrhaging. I'm not familiar with what happens when they die, but it was very odd..

Sorry to hear.
