So tiny! I'm scared I'm probably going to have like 100 of those guys and accidentally kill them all

Well don’t accidentally kill them until you can do it on purpose. Doesn’t sound like a whole lotta eatin’ yet...

Jen, what is that bedding you have them on? It looks like pelleted feed...

Horse stall pellets. Doesn't stink like shavings, so I don't have to constantly change it.

7 fridge is out but only because I took him out.
I don't think he is meant to be.
Do we count him or not?

I need to leave the house in a few minutes.

I was planning on just leaving Mr. Splits in the bator while i am gone and 'dealing' with him when I get home. If there is a chance he can fix himself... Should I move him to join the firework crew so he can eat?

I am not touching the opened egg again. I rather it not make it out of the shell then have to deal with another problem child.
I'm pretty sure that one is a goner. (Number 7 fridge)

The last egg is number 8 fridge.
It's pipped but not zipping and I don't think it will.
It will stay in the bator for now too.


So I'm at 6 fridge eggs hatched for now.

If move him with fireworks crew and see how he does....I agree just leave rest to do what they gonna do....most that I lost were ones that I intervened when should’ve just observed!
