I had quarantined my pregnant yellow lab for a few days now and just today I found that it released 6 fry prematurely. They still have their 'egg saks' and are twitching once in a while. I removed the mom from the babies...

What should I do?
Keep the mom with the babies in case she stores them back in her mouth?
Get an egg tumbler...?
????

Sorry about bad quality picture all my other cameras ran out of batteries except this old one.

They will be okay...Just let them wiggle and when they eventually lose their yolk sac start feeding them something like crushed flakes or baby brine shrimp. Search fry food on MFK, you'll find something....cooked egg yolks also work well for me.
