Congratulations. Don't worry about minimal babies for your first time. Once you're bangaiis start breeding. You'll get new babies almost every month. As you start prefecting your raising abilities, you have a higher and higher success rate.
My Bangaii's have a mouth full again. Yesterday was Day 1 for them. I've got 4 previous babies that I'm trying to work in another breeding pair.
Sorry I didn't get around to helping you sooner with stripping the babies. Being able to catch them depends on how skittish they area when you're near. One thing you can try is when the lights are on bright, and you switch to moon really quick they will be dazed for about a second to try and scoop up the parent to get him to spit out the babies.
With my next round when it comes time to stripping the babies I'll get my video camera out and record the process and post it to the website.

Hello, If either of you two are going to have extra Banggai's available I would like to buy either an established breeding pair, or a few young to raise up with the hopes of getting a breeding pair. Thanks, Fintastic

I'm working on another breeding pair now. It will be another 2 - 3 months to see if any pair up. The babies won't be ready for sale for at least 3 months until they start eating frozen foods. Contact AnnArborBuck through the PM system. He has a ton of my babies from before as he was raising them all. I think he still has a few left he might be willing to sell you that are of sellable age, healthy and eating frozen and flake foods.
