Holy cow! That's pretty cool. 
I had a corn lay a mini-egg this year. It wasn't fertile but it looked good from the start.

Ryan... I really like those red hypo-ish ones you have... Are you producing those this year or not till 05? Those are some of the finest looking hogs around. Put a pic up again
The female that laid the dwarf egg just double clutched last night with 15 more normal size eggs.
I'm going to try to tripple clutch her.
Last year she had 47 eggs in only two clutches spaced one month apart... I didn't rebreed her after the 2nd clutch and she went and dumped a third clutch anyway ,all slugs late summer.
Hogs can be major egg machines but they have problems with calcifying the shells, and getting egg bound..then some of them eat their own eggs, but luckily mine dont.
That seems to run in some blood lines but not in all.
I'm not sure how common dwarf eggs and babies are, but this isn't the first time I've had minihogs.
My bloodline usually eats well, and hogs have huge mouths..
I hope to next post a pic of if gobbling a new born mouse...It might take a few weeks, but we'll see...
Thanks everyone for your interest!!
Hognose snakes are great...plus they hatch in 45 days one of the quickest colubrids out of the egg.
I want albinos and hypos some day soon
