    As for today 2 eggs are looking like rasins so I figure they are not making it. I have 8 others 2 you can see the cuttles through the eggs and am being optimistic. There was a bunch of other eggs at the same time of my pick up and they have not hatched either. I am watching day by day. I had a premature hatchling that died. I am doing all I can with the proper flow water quality and whatnot to make this happen but it seems like I may only get a couple. according to the timeframe they shoule be born by this weekend at latest. I am a bit discouraged as the other eggs have gone elsewere with no luck. I will try again if this does not go through. I am doing all I can.

    It is a learning experience and maybe requires a lot of luck. Keep up the good work. Best of luck.

    This is novel. I didnt know cuttes could be kept in captivity other than aquarium parks/ exhibits. Best of luck Miranda ....we're pulling for you and the cuttles. Try cuddling with the cuttles ...?
