EGGS ARE FINALLY HATCHING 1 HEAD OUT

mike3 Aug 08, 2003 10:43 PM

Holly bleep one of my eggs are hatching. After 75 days of waiting i am finally starting to see what i have been waiting for. I am so happy and excited, this is my first uro hatching. right now there are 3 deflated eggs, and 1 of the 3 deflated eggs has a head peeping out. It is actually looking at me with its eye open and blinking. I am so happy you have no idea unless you witness your first uro egg hatching in front of your eyes. I have everything down with info on caring for hatchlings there is only one thing i dont fully understand. When you feed them the adult poo should you feed them it when it is fresh and wet, or when it is dry. I have a cup full of dry poo so i think i am covered. If i need fresh poo, i have 6 lovely adult uros who would be happy to pruduce this daily, lol. I will try to post pics of them soon.

right now, the one that has its head out, is working on getting its arms through the egg. Now, there is a total of 2 deflated eggs, and 2 eggs that are hatching. The second hatchling just cut the egg open and his/her nose is comming out. By the end of today i will have at least 2 hatchlings.

PS
I just made a photo album and have pics of all of my uros, and the last pic on page 2 is of my eggs.

Thanks a bunch for sharing the pic! It is adorable! Though it has caused a fued in my house! My 10 year old daughter is dead set on wanting to try and breed uros now! lmao! No way! We are still learning so much and are no where near ready! But she said mom if he can do we can do it! lol My daughter loves all animals and at times it can be a bit much! Good luck with the rest of the eggs and all the babies. Hope to see more pics soon!
