Good news!

I think I can now see evidence that my octo eggs are fertile. Of the group of eight eggs that are easily visible (there are forty more deeper in the cave) three of them look similar to this picture:

I still cant see any eye spots though. But the shape is there. It no longer looks like a round yolk, but a round yolk with a funny shaped bump on top.

she is doing alright. She appears to still be healthy. She never leaves her cave, but when I offer her a piece of shrimp every three or four days she eats it right up.
