Twins joined at the yolk sac

Detailed records can be found at Tortoise Twins

	I tied the  the cord at what appeared to be the yolk sac remnant and cut in between with a sterile razor blade
The larger one on day 2. It is very active
	The yolk sac stump looks good
The small one is amazingly active
	The shell is filling out and the stump looks OK. The tort is only 4 grams.
At one week the "tiny" twin is active and nibbling on greens
	The second hatchling from the cultch (on the left) is one week old. The twins are 2 weeks old.
Dinner is served !!! Tiny pigs out
