had a batch of eggs laid on monday and i knew they we're due to hatch today so i decided to take them from my male just before they started to hatch because as soon as they do he normally kicks them out and some die. so when i got home from work i moved his cave and only 1 had hatched (and been kicked out in his usual style!) and it seems i just caught them in time, because in the space of 10 minutes i went from 1 wiggler to 26 wigglers!
she normally has quite large batches of eggs but 26 is my record and possibly even a world record?
anyway i hope they all make it!
all the best,
andrew

WOW
What makes the common person uncommon is common sense.
