If I've done my maths right then it's the 29th May. well done Peggy and Dexter, any no 8 yet She appears to have stopped at seven she should have laid the eighth yesterday morning and still no sign so I think it's safe to say she's done laying. The first egg should hatch on Friday Ohhh I hate the waiting part!

I did the final handling of the eggs tonight, because I don't want to touch the eggs when the first baby has just arrived, and all of the eggs apart from the fifth one have babies growing in them So if all goes well I should have six babies over the next couple of weeks

Exciting, but nerve-wracking times ahead. Are Peggy or Dexter your previous breeding ......... is this going to make you a "grandparent" before your time???

Peggy is the daughter of Evie and Theo, who I bred about three years ago. So that will make Theo a grandad I've actually been joking that I'm going to be a grandma haha!

Still no sign of the first egg hatching, I'm hoping I was wrong about the date it was due to hatch but I can't see how. I'm hoping the second egg will hatch when expected.

A baby was born today egglet two. Egg one didn't hatch despite being fertile. I've had a bit of a stressful day because Peggy doesn't seem to want to or doesn't know how to feed the bub :/ I had to hand feed it a couple of hours ago which went well but I'm really praying she starts feeding it soon.

First bub hatched 2nd June 2015. Apparently likes to wedge its head between two eggs lol! Oh and a photo of all seven eggs before bub hatched.
