Unfortunately lost both fledglings this morning. Woke to find the "walker" dead on the floor with the other one crouched next to him. Caught him easily and heard that he was clicking really loudy - indicating the dreaded air sac mites!!!!!!!!!!
I transfered him to a hospital cage and treated him with ivomec but must have been too late and he died a few hours later.
Was a very devastating morning - but I'm pleased to say the parents are already sitting on eggs again - hopefully I can try and keep the mites at bay for this lot.....
Parents have been sitting for the last week or so - haven't counted the number of eggs though

Still sitting - no doubt eggs are infertile but don't want to premept anything.
