Oh Babe, I'm afraid I know nothing about incubating, but wrapped up, could they sit on a hot water bottle until you get home?

Or I might take them with me, like you say, nice baggy top???

Do you have one of those Snugglesnafe heat pads????
Or like Grannie said hotwater bottle.
I put Monty a towel on one of them and put him in the cat carrier and take him everywhere with me :)  You could leave them in the car an keep nipping out to check??


If their friends of yours your having a meal with they'll understand, take them with you.


Oh wish you were nearer I'd have them for you,  Hope it goes ok

Naughty Fraggle :)

ive just moved fraggle out of the maternity block into a smallish box indoors. she's quiet and sitting at the minute.

3 are now cheeping, and she's where i can keep a watch in case she gets upset.

poor girl, littlefoot is 2 days old now, she just wants to play with her baby, and she has been sitting for over 4 weeks.

Bless you can't really blame them, don't think i'd like to be sat all that time and I bet Littlefoot is jumping all over her saying Come Play Mummy LoL

Wouldn't be with out them though even though it's heartbreaking at times, the good times far out weigh the bad ones.

Will keep everything crossed for you, Fraggle  & the little ones

Take Care :)

Any more news Babe?  I have visions of you going out for a glam evening with eggs hatching in your Radley handbag ...  :shock:
Nobody said this was going to be easy ... but some days are better than others!

Oh I do hope everything works out Babe. I had to hand rear lots myself last year which is such a worry :) worth it as you say but what a responsibility :roll: Everything crossed over here for you :D
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!!
