Ciao Amici,
Some news about the second egg-laying ... we had three babies but one is died. He was very small: 7 grams and probably his formation wasn't finished. He lived one week.
You find below some pictures.
The first is born the 16th augustus. His weight 12 grams.
The second is born the 1èth augustus. His weight 11 grams.
And the third ... the little baby of 7 grams, born the 22th augustus.
He beginned to break his egg the 20th augustus ...
And the 22th at 0845Hr, a leg is out ...
... at 1420Hr, the baby is out
But the "sac vitellin" (in french, sorry but i don't find a correct translation in english or italian
... help please !!!) is not in perfect state and the inside of egg isn't normal: bad smells and decay
A picture where you can see this baby with his brother/sister born the 16 th augustus ... a big difference
The rest of the first egg-laying was not good. We opened them after 90 days: two eggs not fertilized and one baby is dead in his egg ...
again
Generaly, in the North of Europe (Belgique and France), 2010 isn't a good year for the (artificial) incubation and the births: unfertilized eggs, dead babies in eggs and low birth: 30 at 40% of birth, this is low.
I hope you have best results in Italy.
I read that in Italy a "siamese" ibera baby-tortoise is born. Is it just and do you know if it is possible to see some pictures ?Many people talk about that on the francophone forums
Good evening a Tutti
