henry d Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Be very careful with eggs at this time, provide as much meat as possible and ensure there is plenty of water too. If you have to rely on dry food make sure there is plenty available at all times. 9 is a good average number, best of luck trying to keep them all fed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
