Good and bad news today!
Good news, the twin that ate is currently eating pinkie number 2, and Annie's clutch is hatching with an anery het hypo/motley out already. It's a hateling that wants to kill me.
Bad news, the other twin is thin and dehydrated, despite having access to water its skin is in folds and it seems lethargic. It hasn't shed yet but it has pooped. I've put it in a water bath, but I'm not going to take special measures if it doesn't perk up.
I know this sounds harsh, but any babies that don't make the grade in health are either keepers because I can't bear to sell them, or euthanised. I only want healthy, well-started babies to sell or to keep as future breeders. I know I could syringe feed this little one but it has to be able to drink independently.
