Finally got my Florida blue babies to pop! I''m pretty happy about it! In the end, Ernestine had 7.6! Pretty even ratio! I *KNEW* they weren't all girls! LOLOL!!!!!

For those of you who can't get them to do it or have never tried before, I have to say, I had to push on them way harder than I originally thought I would.

Now here's the tip: Their cloaca and genitalia seemed much more relaxed and cooperative after a nice little soak. If you have uncooperative babies, throw them in some water for a while, and try again.

In addition, the babies are now slipperier, and you'll HAVE to hold them tighter. So you'll get more pressure without even trying!

Now, I can't get my radix babies to even relax enough to pull back the vent scale. No swim helped, nothing. Is it they're older and stronger? Just need to get them to relax more? They sure aren't cooperative!
