Babies & Hospice Care...... Again........

It's a long story. And I'm a glutton for punishment. And I have 5 sickly baby beardies now. 

But I also have a new "system" for keeping them alive: color coding for identification, more frequent & smaller feedings, and lots of heat.

Not sure how many of them will actually survive. I expect one in particular to die by this weekend. I think he's too far gone. But at least now I can be sure that each one is being fed and each one is being weighed. They are so tiny (the smallest is 3 grams) that missing even one feeding would be catastrophic.
