Thank You! We made a home for him in a little rubber maid container for over night in the incubator I was just afraid he would get to cold at night. Really I wish I would have not taken him out so soon, but he was running around and nipping at me, I had read that it meant they were ready to come out, but I now think that they need that warmth a little bit longer. What a learning experience! I am so happy he is doing well.
Yep he has color in him I will take more pics today as more color has come out.
