Some 2011 hatchlings (pic heavy)

[wolfy-hound]

So I've got the first two clutches shed out, so I got new pictures.

The first clutch is het for orange ghost. Doing well and one has even eaten his first meal on the first attempt! Since they shed the day before feeding day, I didn't expect that!









Then the cinnamon clutch which was a cluster... well, it could have gone better. I lost one who hatched with an oogly bulging eye. I got an eye ointment from the vet, but it simply died, so there was most likely something more wrong with it. One hatched with the very tip of his tail kinked to the side. It's barely noticeable, but it's a kink. Not sure what I'll end up doing with him, but he's otherwise perfect and I can't see euthanizing a near 100% perfect cinnamon. One male simply died after he hatched. Sigh. So I have 1 perfect female, 1 perfect male and the tailtip kink male. But again, out of 5 eggs cinn/normal I got 5 cinnys. I'm not really complaining.








And then there's the single pastel who looks so awesome. Out of 3 unexpected eggs, 1 went bad, 1 almost made it to term then died, and this baby hatched. Unfortunately it looks rather like it has "hard belly" so I'm not really as hopeful as I was. I'm waiting for a shed, and if the hard yolk doesn't pass, he may not make it.

He hasn't shed yet, but I got a picture anyway out in the sunlight.



I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them! Sgt major is in charge of security at the baby racks, and he's pretty strict about access now. Very protective, you see.
