BABIES!!

waspinator421 Aug 27, 2009 12:10 AM

Was catching up on cleaning bins today after returning from the Daytona Expo on Tuesday. I got to Petunia, and opened it up to find babies crawling around! I had just checked that bin the day prior just to make sure she was ok, and saw that it was dirty. I didn't have time to clean it right then so I did it today. I was completely suprised to find the little ones in there. Good thing I didn't clean it up yesterday, otherwise I'd have to do it all over again today, lol!

Total of 14 babies, 1 still born and 1 slug (unless she ate the other slugs). She must have dropped them overnight because they were all out of their sacs and cruising around.

Mom is doing well, and actually seems in really good shape. She is such a big girl I thought I'd get more babies out of her, but I can't complain! She is only a little bit thin, so it shouldn't take her too long to recover.

I was not expecting her to have her babies until either October or December, as she gave me a couple sheds to try and guess the date with. At least I was home when they were born!

This is my first litter of BRBs ever... woohoo!!!
