Hello so I had a batch hatch yesterday and 18 of 22 made it initially but one was born prematurely probably from the others knocking it open. I had to cull that one tonight due to intestines sticking out and not able to get it in in time before drying.
I have a second one that had yolk sac attached and is active and mobile but covered in the sac. It dried up mostly and I ended up putting it in a water bath to soften and loosen everything.
The question is do I need to push in the umbilical back into the opening similar to a prolapse of the intestines or leave it alone. Pics below. It is clean and dry and I have given nutridrench. The umbilical looks mostly dry but I can see the opening.
Thoughts on leaving or closing up with glue.
Thanks for the help.
