My wife works with those little ones like that for 2 or 3 days and we have not been able to do much with them so I cull them when she's not around. :cry:  If I don't cull them they die anyway

sometimes if you put something they can get a grip on they will strengthen their little legs. Other than that my husband culls them. I can't do it so I take them to him. Usually tho if we place them on a towel for a while they get over it.  :lol:
