..and the first Egg *might* hatch tomorrow,if not Wednesday morning at the latest :cheer:

Oh and they train the babies to wear harnesses and I should get one with my baby when I go pick it up (look at me, talking like I was certain there is a girl in one of those three eggs) - so one less thing to buy!

Would you seriously turn down a male of all 3 happen to be male? And I missed WHY you only want a female???

I would.
I've waited this long, I can wait a bit longer.

I've read and had accounts that females are easier to deal with, even in the later years. If I had a baby sexed female and turned out to be male for whatever reason, then it would be fine and I'd love him all the same.
But I really would prefer a female.

Best of luck with a female hatching! It is very nice that they harness train their babies!

I should see if the breeder would be willing to take a picture of the Eggs.
Not sure he would entirely understand why people would want to see pictures of the eggs... ;)

(The use of a capital E in one version and not in the other is a voluntary thing :) )

Well..given how close we might be to one hatching, I'm not sure I want to ask him to do something that might bother Mom or Dad....So maybe he'll take a picture when the first one hatch and we might get a glimpse of an egg then.

I can't.
He has my personal email address, which I don't have access to when I'm at work. So I guess that's a good and bad thing. Because I *can't* look, I'm forced to think about other things.

I love the idea of his babies coming with a harness and already trained to be in one. If I was deciding between 2 breeders that would deffinatly win me over!

I cant wait for them to start hatching!! :dance5: :dance5:

I was quite willing to go with either of two breeders - one wasn't expecting any babies any time soon though and is further away. With this guy, I might be able to visit the baby once or twice and be able to bring it home by car instead of shipping. Not that I have anything against shipping, but I like the idea of having control on the situation. Not sure what I would do if there was a connecting flight and the bird missed it...
