Yesterday before I left, I noticed one of my eggs had hatched(his clutchmate still unhatched), so I went to work and figured I would take care of it when I got home(I leave them in for a few hours to make sure they absorb the yolk, have time to adjust to being alive etc...).
I get home and check on him and all appears well, until he starts to scurry and I notice that it is deformed. The back legs are only half there, like the lower half never formed, but each nub does have a single toe on it. The front legs are there and operational, but each foot missing one toe. It has now been 24 hours since hatching and the little one is still alive but I can only wonder for how long. Anyone else have something like this happen to them? How long can I expect it to live?
The clutchmate hatched overnight, but was dead by the time I got to it, but was also fully formed.
Thanks for any replies.
