Too cute!

It looks like he's counting them. 

Aww, so sweet!

He is just too funny! He gets credit for a feeding on the chart for that LOL!

He tries so hard!

Sad for Dad too, he tried so very hard with them.  He's sure looking at a long incubation period, too.  Double what he's used to.

1.40 pm and we have a hammie 

Aww, hello hammie! 

Hmmm...that's very strange.  Probably from prey, but it's always a bit distressing when that happens. You have good eyes, carly!

 

Breakfast!

Oh my, that's huge! 

The family

Lunch time!

I am going to say that the loss of the high resolution main cam has had a bit of a side benefit. I know that, at least for myself, I'm looking more carefully at the other cams than I might do otherwise. The other views do capture more than we realize. I might not have spotted Dot on the corner in the middle of the night if I hadn't been running through the full archive.

I agree.  This is a great shot!  Dinner comes via airmail. 

Well, pip pip cheerio, yes!

Tiny pefa pile. 

Yep, that's what I'm hoping.  I think the last one hatched in 2016 was Aria.  She always seemed to be trying to catch up to her siblings. 

I hate to say this, but if you go by the numbers in recent years, I think odds are against the fourth egg of 2017 hatching.  Here's the pattern:

2013 - four eggs laid, three hatched
2014 - four eggs laid, four hatched
2015 - four eggs laid, three hatched
2016 - four eggs laid, four hatched
2017 - four eggs laid, three hatched as of May 2

I hope egg #4 of 2017 proves me wrong!
