Skip to 1:45 and you'll see one "hatch"



If the humidity is very low, or they are born on a very absorbent material, the membrane dries out and they die inside. That's one of the reasons people come home to find most of the babies never made it out of their membranes and died. Some babies struggle and just can't get out. That's why I like to be there to help. The one litter born in my absence last year resulted in 10 dead babies, still in the membranes. 20 made it though.
