It finally happened! The umbilical cord fell off. I have to be honest here -the thing didn’t smell great and it was really getting in the way. It fell off (May 26 @ 2:00 am) at some point during a change or feed, we’re not sure. We just picked him up and there was this black spot underneath him.
I threw it out!
Should I have saved it? Maybe some people eat it? I’ve heard that people eat their placenta so that wouldn’t be so far fetched.
Maybe I could have planted it in one of my tomato plants…maybe it’s not too late. That way indirectly we could eat it!
