4 Newborns Today!

Postby catlady » Thu Jul 29, 2010 3:56 pm

Four of my kids hatched today and I think there may be more tomorrow. If all goes well, I should have 29 released by the middle of next month. This is fun! I'm pretty new at this and do not know how to tell a male from a female. Also, how do I spot OE and what do I do about it? Any help would be good.

Thanks.
