My Babies Are Hatching!

Cool babie Beardies, Once they begin to hatch how long do they take? We have our first 2 with their heads poking out of the eggs, but they look dead... it's been about 4 hrs since we first noticed the 1st one, and it was showing signs of life, but then nothing for the last 2 hrs...

Cheers

Sorry Screemin, I didn't see this post. The babies have been keeping me busy. You probably already have your answer. But, in case you don't, some of mine took nearly two days to fully emerge after pipping. So it can take a while.

Thanks for replying and congrats on getting 15 from 18 (so far) Yes, all 3 have hatched, They are so small. Now we have to get them to eat.

Mine didn't eat for the first couple of days, then only a few ate on the third day. Now they are all little piglets. I tried feeding them crickets first and they didn't want anything to do with them.
They're loving the baby Dubia roaches though.

Here's my male.

And here is my female.

Both of these pictures were taken back in March. I need to get some current ones. Not that they look much different.. LOL

I am now up to 36 babies.

I would like to recommend that people not tell newbies that a females first clutch is usually infertile. All over the internet, breeders are telling people that.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

That's good to know. Now I'm a little more hopeful when looking at those motionless eggs.
BTW, you started off with 18 eggs but how is it that you have 36 babies now?? Another clutch??!!

Yep, I wasn't expecting the first clutch to hatch, considering everything I was told and read. So I set the second clutch too. And all of them hatched as of today. The last 6 hatched almost two weeks after all the others in the same clutch. So if you have any late hatching eggs, don't give up on them.
