I also use the big flakes of pine shavings so that they don't eat them. Yours look to be pretty fine from the picture. I have lately been using puppy pads that I get from a big discount store here called Sam's Club. You can get 150 of them for only 20 some dollars and those work well. I changed them constantly and went through a lot of them but no worry about them eating shavings.I had him in his lower part of the shell until the yolk was absorbed. He/she kicked it off this morning. It now has a friend in an egg still... mom pulled more shell off and I wasn't going to take the chance...
So @Miss Lydia @Luv Ducks , I have a question. I've never had this situation before. I have them inside with a general heat lamp on them. Will this be too sufficient, meaning for both... enough or too much for the egg and the little one ? I have a smaller lamp that is only a 72 watt bulb not sure that will be warm enough for both of them. This is he first time the little one really sprawled out to sleep.
my house is very cool we keep it at 69 , if that is your next question. They are away from the air vents. But I know If they get hot they move away from the heat... I was thinking to be safe I'd use the smaller lamp and move it safely closer... and I put in pine shavings for bedding as normal...
