Premature Litter... need advice

ectothermz May 02, 2008 12:00 AM

Hey everyone. Had a premature jungle litter tonight. Fair amount of slugs but there are quite a few jungles. Some out of the sack others still in the sack. All alive but definitely could have used a couple more days in the oven.

To anyone with experience. How long do you/should you leave the babies in the sack? Should I break them out?

Please provide your experience/insight. I'd really like to try to save these guys.

Much appreciated...

Thanks,
Justin
