You can get hurt waiting for nature to make things fall off.. best way to move them while little when they dont want to move is grab the tail method; that tail makes an excellent rudder when they are little! .Please be careful! xoxoJanice Grinyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363741660626407979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-78760244756460906882015-04-13T22:23:58.883-04:002015-04-13T22:23:58.883-04:00Wait.
