For those of you following the exploits of Sprocket (that rascal!), another chapter unfolds. Very soon after his arrival at his new home with my other goldies, Sprocket (that rascal!) caught the fancy of my dear, sweet -- and formerly innocent -- calico fantail, Cassandra. Yes, she's spawned.
I noticed their wildly frantic amorous behavior, but didn't think THAT was going to happen. I'd always heard you had to do certain things in a certain way to get them to breed. But the next day, sure enough... I found literally thousands of eggs scattered all over everywhere. I did the best I could throughout Day #2 (in egg years) to collect as many as I could. I managed to save hundreds of them. Many hundreds, I'm sure. It was impossible to count them all.
This thread isn't going to be all that informative. And it won't be well documented with great photos showing whatever progress or failures are in store for us. But I'll still post updates to let you all know how it's going.
These are rather hard to see, but I wanted to start off with something, at least, to show the eggs we're starting out with.
