I thought I would post an update in this thread too- 6 of 6 eggs have pipped, though one is going to need assistance. This little one kicked its way out in about 20 minutes and won't stop crawling over the other eggs, but it seems to have gotten distracted by the freckles on another egg. Knock knock!

Second pip, so far out of 12. None hatched or zipped yet. So. Darn. Exciting!!!!

They LOVE all kinds of melon! Watermelon cantaloupe, honey dew! They will pick every last bite and leave just a floppy thin rind.

I also have a pip at day 19. Not worried, still could be 24 hrs before anything happens.

Incubator update, got plexiglass in both doors, got doors insulated, got inside of incubator insulated. Got top ready to set plexiglass in it, got insulation cut for hatching drawers, just got to get the wire in the bottom of the drawers. Then put the back on and do a test run for temp.

They eat pumpkins the same way! After Halloween I got mine a bunch cheap and I had these pumpkin 'leathers' all around the yard. It was really cool looking!

Hi everyone! I was gone for the weekend and when I got online today I saw that there were 165 posts to read. I just skipped to the end so I did not read everyone's posts. I just wanted to say congrats to everyone that have pips, zips, and babies and good luck to everyone that set eggs!
