I wanted to write down my notes on my quadricornis experience. I have received a lot of questions regarding growth rates, gestation and incubation. I thought this would be the best way for anyone interested to access the data.
I'll start with growth rates.
First is the "Mother of all my quads" Fynn.
Let me also say that she is a large example of a female quad.
