Hi
I have been thinking about this issue for some years.
There is an aspect that we might consider before helping neonates:
Naure didn`t want anything but the strongest to survive, but we can (and do) help weaker/unsuited animals to survive and breed them later on. If this problem is genetic, we could get problems with later generations. Oh I know we wants them all and for some it is also a matter of future money making, but is it in the end a good idea???
On the other hand it is very easy to slit an egg. I have tried to remove a piece of the top egg shel after about 2 weeks and place plastic in stead ( from the plastic used in the kitchen to wrap around fod) Then I could follow the embryo and it`s growth. It was quite fascinating and the juvenile hatched like all the others.
Best wishes
Søe
