Tiny hatchling

This is my first season breeding and only my 5th hatchling ...

this morning I found a hatchling (RAPTOR) in the incubator that seems very small. She is still attached to the yolk sac and weighs 1.6 grams. She seems quite a bit smaller than her siblings, that hatched a few weeks ago, were.

Is this within the normal range?

I put her in a warm humid tub and she is crawling around. She doesn't even squeak when I try to pick her up.

thanks

The range is usually 2-4 grams. But if she's moving around, that's a good sign. Just leave her be in the humid tub. The sac should fall off, and she should start to perk up in a few days.
