The triplet cherryheads that emerged last Sunday are all still alive and looking better each day. Since they were separated on Tuesday they have been quietly absorbing their yolk inside the incubator.
The larger two have just a little bump of it left and I think they will both be OK...
In fact, I offered them a little bit of soaked Mazuri this morning and they both jumped on it...
The smallest has also absorbed his yolk although I am a little concerned about the remaining extra tissue that was from the separation. I am hoping this dries up and sheds off along with the yolk sac membrane...
Like his larger siblings I also offered him a little bit of Mazuri today. He seemed to go for it...
I am becoming cautiously optimistic about them all making it. We named them Huey, Dewey and....Peanut.
Yes I know, the last one is supposed to be Louie. But Peanut fits better so...
