Well they don’t seem to be too angry, but they are keeping everything away from the eggs. No contact - just “clear off!” type movements. At the min the lights are out. He has taken himself off to sleep at the other end and he’s oblivious to anything around him and she is tending to her eggs.

Hugo is just being his mild mannered self.

I actually hope the angels just eat their eggs! What am I gonna do with a ton of angletts?!

They have eaten most of the eggs. I’m glad because I’d feel so sorry for the wee babies if they had hatched and been eaten!! 😢

Ah never mind. Practice for next time!

Though my rams have laid eggs every month for the last 18 months or so, and eaten them up every single time... (after guarding them for a couple of days and then getting fed up)

Would you want to raise them?
