If I remember correctly either Ralph or Kobylka posted a vid on youtube showing what to do. Search and I'm sure u will find some help. I believe ur supposed to cut it and tie it off with fishing line or something like that? Please do not quote me on this.. that could have been for a different problem. Just try the search, its worth a shot. Sorry I couldn't help more, best of luck. Pulling for u and the 2 babes!

Can anything be done to save them or am I just forced to watch them die?! I've already had two babies die in this clutch (one from a twisted umbilicus) and I cant take another two. These babies are on day 58 by the way.
They are both very responsive when I check them.
Any advice would be SO appreciated.
