My My...An Unexpected Clutch

So, it is feeding day today. Went to put a rat in to one of my bigger girls tubs and lo and behold she's sitting a giant clutch of eggs! Totally caught me by surprise. Why? Because I haven't bred her to anything. Ever. I got her last year from a friend of mine who bred her to an Enchi YB. She came gravid and produced a good clutch for me last year. So I can only assume that she must have retained sperm from the previous year.

Well, gotta go get the incubator fired up.

WooooHooooo !!!! that a nice Surprise... well.... WHERE ARE PICTURES !!!:rage::rage::taz:

Wow, nice bonus! That will make your day!

That's freaking awesome! Hopefully you get some sweet babies from her!

Gratz dude! :gj:

What is this like the third or fourth "surprise" clutch this year?

Seems that they are getting it done with or without our help.

Yay!!! That's super exciting. :D

Surprise clutches are always nice,, so congrats. Have you candled them yet?

Lol that's to cool! Some people get the "odds gods" and you got the "sperm savior" haha :P

Wow, does these surprise clutches happen very often, seems I read about a few of them this year.

congrats man. is your big girl a normal? gotta love surprise free eggs. lol

Congrats, surprise clutches are cool. Has she been eating the whole time? Just wondering if past POS she was still taken meals.

Crazy I feel like people are getting surprise clutches every other day! I need to get in on this lol.

That's too crazy! Congrats! Sounds like you might have some cool babies in those eggs!

Actually she stopped eating about a month or so ago. I thought it was because she was in shed. She just shed 2 or 3 weeks ago weeks ago.

Well I know why now.

And yes, she is a normal.

Congrats, hope there are some good looking little ones in there for you:gj::gj:

Update: 9 fertile looking eggs are now in the incubator. Too bright to candle so I'll check them all tonight. And the guy I got her frmo said he only bred her to the Enchi YB so maybe that is what I'll get again. Last year she also had 9 eggs that gave me 2 Enchi YBs, 6 Enchi's and 1 normal. So we'll see what happens.

Congrats, that is super awesome! Surprise clutches are always exciting!

What awesome luck! Congrats!

Update 2:

At first candling,3 of the eggs don't appear to have veins. Will leave them in and keep an eye on them.
