Wha....? there's a table?!? Well, that explains why everything didn't
fall on the ground when I ate the platters.....

Well, if they're born live, call them cubs. If they're hatched, call
them chicks. Or, be like me, and apply my own species' term for them
and call them hatchlings regardless. Yes, I even call human young
hatchlings.

Yes. I've heard that lizards lay eggs periodically, whether they mate
or not. And during those times, you have to supplement their diets with
extra calcium, as their eggs (and most eggs, I would assume) are mostly
calcium.....
