Do you find they slow down Jonathan even under the lamps? I think that can confuse new keepers . my little margies are all different, some not really eating and going to bed early. Goes to show what a mix they can be, CB

Hi CB. I haven't noticed any slowing. But I am keeping a close eye on them because I've reduced the length of time that they have higher temperatures.

Since they are indoors they are not getting cold at night, at least not less than about 15C. so maybe there isn't a trigger there for slowing.

Stunning Jonathan, gorgeous rich colours.

I have only hatched one thh but a friend had an eye on her (wanted her while she was just an egg! But I wouldnt tempt fate!) But she was soon round to collect. I dont mind as know she has gone to a brilliant caring home.
