Seems she knew what she needed!

This morning at 7:14, shortly after lights on, there were 3 more eggs in the water and 12 in the moss. The ones in the water were large like the one last night and the rest were of more normal size. I have put all in the tubs just in case as all look about the same and I figure I caught them shortly after they dropped.

Thing is, I palpated mom and I think that there may be one egg left. Not sure though as 16 is a normal enough count for a clutch. I tried to manipulate what I feel is the egg and will aspirate if she doesn't pass or poop in the next day or two. I will not lose another female to a retained egg!

What a relief to see her slim again. Nicer yet, unlike my capra, she isn't skinny. She ate so well that she is still nicely filled out and looks like the picture of health even after laying a nice clutch!

Anyway, the day after she layed the eggs she soaked again and I found the last egg in the water bath. So, 17 eggs total. Now its just a waiting game!

50 isn't too bad. Last winter mine spent several weeks in the 40's and faired well. I am impressed with their ability to weather these temperature drops.

My biggest scare was the group that was sent from California in December a few years ago. There was a delay for some reason and they took about 14 days to ship. The temps dipped below freezing. -15 seems to come to mind. Anyway, the day they arrived I went to the post office and when they weren't here I went to my truck and broke down. I cried to think that these poor guys had frozen to death somewhere. I gathered myself and drove home. When I got to the house there was a phone message that I had a delivery that had just arrived at the post office and to come pick it up after hours. I went back to the post office and picked up my package and in the truck I opened it to find all of the animals quite still but very much alive. I took them home and offered them worms which all ate first night! Very hardy animals!
