    Egg Pip Question

    When your babies start to Pip when do you remove them? I'm curious since of the 4 egg clutch: one is completely out, one has a head out, and two are still in the egg. Do you take them out one at a time as the completely emerge or wait until they are all out? Thanks in advance!

    I'd put a snip in the two that don't have hatchlings coming out... just check and make sure they are alive. Don't pull anyone out of the egg. they'll come out on their own!

    Re: Egg Pip Question

    You can leave them in the incubator tub for a few days and they should be fine. They dont have to be separated until after their first shed and they are ready to eat. I separate them before so its easier to keep track of who shed, but really it should be pretty obvious who shed(the clean looking one)
