It is perfectly safe to leave them in there and they need to stay in there a day or so. Be very careful when you do go to retrieve them. Some can be very excited to get out of there and will jump and run and surprise you!

As soon as they are separated from the sack then you can take them out. I usually wait a few hours. If they are still attached after a few hours then you need to take them out carefully and put them on a moist paper towel until it falls off and dries up. No need to wait 24 hours! Just be gentle! I have been doing this 18+ years and never had a problem.
