2nd 2014 O. p. coxi clutch update thread.

All of these are in some stage of blue for their first shed but looking good despite that! First up is AxS9914-4 who hatched out at 10 grams.











Then AxS9814-3 who hatched out at 10 grams also.









And AxS9914-5 who hatched out at 9 grams.

AxS9914-6 who hatched out at 11 grams and did not want to cooperate at all for pictures.







Then the second twin, AxS9814-T2 who hatched out at a measly 3 grams. Next to a nickel for size reference.













And finally the first twin AxS9814-T1 who hatched at 5 grams and also didn't want to cooperate for pictures.

Still T1.

They are all looking really good. It will be a challenge finding food items small enough for the 3 gram twin. Does he look like he'll be able to take 1 day old pinkies?

I'm still debating that with myself. I've been through the bag of day olds I have and there are some especially small ones in there that I think he could handle but even they are a little on the big side. So I've also been thinking about offering just a head for the first try. Still haven't decided yet.

That sounds like a plan. It wouldn't be as much fun if they didn't throw us a challenge every once in a while.

Very happy! The two twins and #3 all shed and ate for the first time today! The littlest twin seemed to manage his whole pinky well, one of the smallest day olds I could find.

Well, the official gender tally is in and it's 3.3! Oddly, the twins are different genders, checked several times on the one that is female and am now sure about that. The other one is a very obvious little boy. The male twin was the 3 gram baby, he is now up to 5.9 grams and the female one is at 6.3 grams, didn't gain as much as its twin.

Can't beat that ratio. I'm glad to hear that the twins are thriving!

REALLY cool. Thanks for sharing. Those little ones are amazing.
