5 May 1430 Go to cut it open - but its very deep. May
need drill. Will return later. One of the runt

are graded in size ooooooo. Bizarre!

runts in and take out the eggs (put in lab
Fridge). The newer kid is RL. Before I Fed them,
they weighed RL=3.5, -:3.2. The latter kid ato
were.

starving hatchlings at R1, 1800, or Blm 3 that could've
