Poor little enchi, is just barely peeking out of his egg, and this pushy bin-mate decides that he is not happy being out of his egg and would prefer a shared accomodation.
If you look carefully you can see the head is enchi and the body is normal.
I had just removed his shell and then looked back in and had this moment of complete confusion. Took me a few seconds to see that he had forced himself into the enchi's egg.
Took a few minutes and some very gently coaxing to convince him that he needed to make it on his own.
The enchi was half his size so there was not enough room for him to take on a live in companion.
But the good part was finding out that the wee enchi had just begun tangling himself in his umbilicus... it was about an inch down past his head, a few gentle nose ticklings was all it took to get him to retract his head enough that I was able to remove the umbilicus.
