About Spritemice Eggs

This egg was given out for Creature Release Week in January of 2011.

Spritemice eggs can get pretty complicated really quickly. When the egg is within weeks of hatching, it will begin to sprout tree limbs that grow at rapid paces. The longest Spritemice egg limb on record is 61 feet; typically they grow to about 30 ft with multiple limbs per egg. Make sure that your Spritemice eggs are not kept in small spaces... the limbs will continue to grow and put destructive pressure on objects around it.
