First eliminations :)

Well, it seems that both Nemo and the bell have both pooped.

I put a little bowl in with a few mealies today, and will check in the morning to see if they found them (while I was watching it was "OMG its the big thing again!")

Everyone seems to be doing great! Although they seem like they might be a little dehydrated? They have a water bowl and a humid hide and there is condensation on the sides of the tub near the moist hide, so it's not a desert in there. The water bowl has never dried out.

Another question - could you tell at hatchling stage if a bell albino was a hybino?

Update -- Nemo 5 days old, Bell A 4 days old.

Both have shed, pooped and eaten at least 8 little mealies!

I think Nemo is blind in 1 eye. I'm going to separate her out in a week or so and see if she can see well enough to eat on her own. If she can't, she definitely needs to go to a special special needs home as I don't know that I can keep up with hand-feeding her, looking for a new job and dealing with my health issues, and keeping up with everything else. I won't euthanize her though - I'll take care of her until that special home is found, and just buck up and handle it. She's a little cutie!

They don't look dehydrated today, so maybe yesterday it was a pre-shed thing I was seeing - the skin loosening up?

What made you believe they were dehydrated? The moist hide and water bowl sounds like they have everything they need

Their skin does loosen up a lot pre-shed :main_yes

I am very glad to hear they are both eating and pooping!!! Great job on keeping great care of them Good luck on the little one that may be blind!

The skin was really wrinkly like I've seen on my adults when they were dehydrated, but with all the water these guys had, I was pretty sure they shouldn't be dehydrated!

Nemo's Clutchmate's name is Aisling, it means "dream" or "vision" in Irish Gaelic.. I decided this morning.
