    they will pip when they are ready and no need for a bigger tub i think.
    dont open anything the heat and humidity will fly right out and thats what you need to get them pipped and out.

    well most come out 1 to 2 days after pipping and some take 2-3 days. depends on them. they will come out when they ready.

    if you want on day 60 have someone expeirienced cut them for you and just wait till they do it on they own.

    if your not home they still gonna pip they dont need you dont worry you'll be fine and so will they.
