LOL!! You watch, they won't like them now ;D ROFL, they'd better like them, if not, I will just have to force feed them. A box of peaches costs more in the supermarket than in a normal fruit market.

I found something they really love! I washed their cuttle off as it was dirty (they hadn't eaten any of it yet anyway) and then thought I would powder some off onto their cucumber. Forgetting it was still wet, I scraped it anyway and it came off in a white gooey mess. I scraped it off the knife onto the side of their food dish, and left it their. Well, I got to tell you, it was a massive hit! They gathered around it and slurped it up! Not a bit of it left! Think I will do a bit of that every night!

I used to wet my cuttlefish under the tap for Boycie and Marlene, and it was at first the only way they'd have it - now they'll eat it which ever way it comes The peaches are in the building, all I have to do now is clean out and feed them. I dont know how much of a hit they'll be as all the margies are in bare tanks and therefore sulking...

I put whole nectarines in with the margies and the tigers. Nothing left but the pit in the morning. I also have some shells from margie eggs that I was sure were not going to hatch. I broke them open (they were about 7 weeks old) and sure enough, just goo. I cleaned them then put them in with the babies. They are munching the shells now. On a side note, one of them had a tiny baby in it. It's alive and perfectly formed, just very small. I can see it's air hole opening and closing so it's breathing. But I feel really bad, I didn't think there was anybody in it.

It makes you wonder just how long it would take some of them to hatch on their own, I still have some albino margie eggs but I am not going to touch them.........just in case!!!! Do hope your little one survives.

He said he'd found some, not hatched 'em I've ditched loads of eggs since B & Ms last batch, mainly because I know there's loads of margie ovums about already. But I wont be freezing Boo and Guinie's because they're both pale/albinos. But you're not the only one who destroys margie eggs, by a long shot - so no need to frown!
