    i am iffy about the top "baby"(might be extra flesh?) but all the rest look like they have a chance :) and i dont know why you would lop off the top, might stress out the little ones, but thats just a guess ;D

    I'm with him! I think lopping the heads off may stress the babies.

    they look pretty much the same today as they did yesterday, no worse, no better, but the frogspawn gives me hope! I'm also thinking the hammer's little things poking out are branches, now if I can keep it going until those grow out. I've been looking at them through my magnifying glass;D

    LOL I hope it is branches growing. I tried to do a search on what the beginning sign on new heads forming looks like and couldn't come up with anything.

    the circled areas are exactly what new heads look like :)

    except the first one, im not too sure, but if they are bulging out in any way with noticable tissue, i would be very happy.
