Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

One of my SLW is really runty. It still looks like a day old and I've had them for over a week. The other two I got the same day are closing in on twice the size.

Lame.

I do not like that! They often are not just small but fail to thrive and die on you

not the SLW. I got those from TSC. Those 3 and the amberlink. The rest did come from a breeder.

Hey all!
Stressin' over here, very long story, so the short version is: we are moving. My father has snapped mentally and is very dangerous. He and my (very unstable) younger brother came here and made more than threats. So they were arrested, and I have restraining orders on both of them.
We're staying in Greeley at least through the end of the school year.
Our wonderful next door neighbor is renting the main floor of his house to us. So...we're not moving far, and my father (and bro) cannot come to the house when it is out on the market because it is too close for the restraining order - judge was clear as a bell that the realtor will have to handle...and if my father wants to inspect the house when we have gone, he must be accompanied by a police officer. He wasn't happy. Good.
Jerkface.
He's 86 and I've been in contact w the family lawyer in regards to his competence...
Other than that, Wrangler got straight A's and seems to be handling this crisis very well. She has the most amazing support system...the folks at her school especially...
Back to packing!

Good heavens, how terrible. Glad to hear the court was so responsive. Where are your other sibling(s) in all this? and your mother?
Family stuff can get so weird.
My dad just turned 85 and is doing okay... ornery as a rattlesnake sometimes, but he's been that way long as I can remember, so status quo.
Stay strong, my friend.

My mom...is mostly deaf, mostly blind, doesn't walk well or far...and she believed the "boys" had a 7:15 tee time when in reality, they were coming here to harrass us for a situation that is 100% out of our control and truthfully, not affecting our little family, and certainly none of their business...
She is trapped, and I cannot help her.
My cousin is watching out for her tho...but, in reality, should my brother go off again, cousin cannot protect herself or my mother, unless she is armed.
My older brother is getting the proceeds from the sale of my home so...he isn't helping at all...he wants the money.

What a thing to deal withe! when my Father in law was going nuts he was halfway across the country so we did not have to deal with him.

Best Wishes!
