I spoke too soon about Fergie being a good mummy and working hard to hatch those babies.. for the last day and a half she has simply left them behind and can be seen frolicking around on the lake without a care in the world!
I am told this can happen and be ok or it may be that the eggs are not viable in which case she will probably lay a second clutch later.
When Mr W returns to base camp tomorrow we will row over and scoop one to do the candle test and see if they are still with us and if this lack of care continues it may be that the house sitters have a little more on their hands than they first thought!!
