Thanks Mike, how're your diamonds doing?
well, they've ignored the pot so far -and also (thankfully) have stopped futiley carrying grass up to the other one. so I'm hoping its a transitional fase between their old spot and the new one

Thanks mike! In the two days they've been at it do far, they're pretty stable.... Just sit there as I move around to do the morning feed.
So sorry to hear that if they're first time parents I'm sure they'll get better at it!!
