My Marvin laid eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOHHHOOOOOO!!!!!!! I've never hatched babies before what do I do, ARGH!!!!!! OMG!!! Is it best to move them or leave them? They're in a big tank with three biggies but they are out of reach from them behind a plant pot. No worries, I'm not keeping all, I'm gonna phone some petshops and see if any are wanted. PLEASE TELL ME WHATS BEST TO DO. How long do they take to hatch? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yep, I have to disturb them anyway cause theres no way I can care for hundreds of fulica or find homes for em all, so how should I go about it, I don't want to hurt them? Whats the best way of getting rid of unwanted eggs?

just scoop em out into a tub and then seperate off a few you wanna keep.
then put em somewhere warm like airing cupboard or back of tv/comuter monitor.

Congrats  Can't wait for pics. How many eggs did you keep? Just let them eat the shells and wait for them to look for food, put something in, in a day or 2 |

kk, I kept quite a lot because there's a really big garden centre/ pet shop that said they would take them, thats where I got my Eric from. I might just have to keep one or two for myself, they're so cute!
