239. 0.1 gram miracle hatchling sets the ball rolling for 2012 season.

0.1 gram is what it says on our scales for this babe which is one reason to call it a miracle. Second reason is because the egg it came out of was one of the most mankeyish and wankeyish we have had, being dented, creased, and all shrivelled up. There was lots of fluid left behind in the egg explaining the small mal nurished babe that emerge with its cord trailing behind. Having hatched last night (5th March 2012) it has survived overnight and looks in good form this morning, so fingers are crossed. Calling her/him Microfiche on account of size. Parents are Slurm (Mack Bell) and Fanta (Mack Tremper we think) and incubation period was 48 days in a SIM's box.
