Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
well he is still alive and seems acitive, but the last 1/3 of his body still is not moving, so I'll wait a couple more day to see.
the last 3 eggs haven't pipped, so I cut them all, So I guess it's a waiting game all around

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
I didn't check for movement. I only cut a small slit in each of the. I would have to cut a hole in them to check for movement, should I do that??

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
actually, I just went in and poked at them (poked at the side of the egg with my finger)
definate movement in 2 of the egss and I think the third had movement too, but not as obvious as the first 2

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
You can cut a whole in the top but it sounds like they are alive. I have to admit it is odd that they have not pipped on their own yet.

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
I know, the longest hatch time for a clutch I've ever heard of!!
I guess they'll come out when they are good and ready to!!

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
 well, I took my hatchlings to a fellow breeder to help me sex them and showed her this little fellow, she said there is no way he's gonna make it and I'll have to euthanize it. So we're gonna do it tonight.
Poor little guy

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
Well, at least the little guy won't be struggling to survive anymore. Some just aren't equipped to make it. It's the circle of life...
Hope it wasn't too hard to let go...

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
thx for sympathizing, it does suck. But I can't tolerate suffering in any animal and she said it looks like necrosis is already setting in, so we just couldn't wait any longer.

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
I'm so sorry to hear about this. It happens to every breeder, it's just something us first time breeders don't want to experience our first time.

Amen to that, but my past carreer as an AHT (vet tech) prepared me for it, and I can say that I know I saved him a very painful death by ending his life quickly and mercifully.
it's still sad though

sorry to hear that the hatchling remained paralysed,i was hoping it was going to sort itself out
imo you are definitely doing the right thing,by euthanizing it yourself mate.....
imo for as unpleasant as it is,doing it yourself is much less stressful than a trip to the vet,followed by a much longer procedure
all the best shaun

Re: something wrong with hatchling?????
thx Shaun, taking it to the vet would have meant waiting even longer, if Rebecca was right and necrosis had already set in, then that would have meant leaving him in pain until we got to the vet. it wasn't worth letting him suffer, so we did it ourselves.
