Egg piped last night. Nothing this morning but now have a head and two legs popped out of shell - been like this since 5.30pm but nothing has changed since. Assuming this is ok but just checking 🐢🐢

It can take up to 24hrs to come out of the shell. This is sometimes a little longer if they still have some egg sac left to absorb.

As sandy says it can take up to 24hrs but occasionally a bit longer just make sure you give it a good warm bath so it can drink as they can become dehydrated with all that hard work.

Dont forget the pictures when its out
