Well, we had a successful hatch, 21/26 Eggs.
Hooray! German-Giant Babies out of my best male and female, Van Halen and Blondie.
We thought all was normal with 21 bouncing baby beardies. Everyone was eatting good, and the oldest is one week old, the youngest 3 days.
Well, the youngest one is a runt. Probably 2 1/2, to 3 inches long. His brothers and sisters are all about 4 1/2 already. So, he's tiny!
I only did quick glance-overs, picked everyone up to get them used to it, and fed them.
Lo and behold, my cousin picks up the little guy, examines him, and calls me in the room.
He only had one eye! Not like it got torn out by a sibling, but birthed, with no left eye.
He's been lovingly named 'Pirate' for now.
I need to know, how to take care of a one-eyed baby. I really want him to make it. I know Zack and Weezy made it, and I hope little Pirate, with his one eye, can make it, too.
