Regarding milk hatchlings. Can multiples be packed in one bag or cup?

Thanks

"Never had any trouble before". Ever heard that before? Always spoken AFTER the un thinkable happens.... Seriously though Minga, 99 out of a hundred times these guys hatch out together in the same container or incubator. Never a problem. The only obvious obstacles would be if food or no air holes were in your deli container with them. I've recieved three in a single deli cup before no prob. Could something happen? Always a possibility. Plenty of air and no delays....not too probable you'll have problems.

I've done it before and seen others do it as well but I won't do it again. I'm aware of one instance where one St Marys hatchling ate another during shipment.

You can buy very small deli's and stack 3 or 4 in the smallest of shipping boxes so I don't take chances anymore.
