The problem might be your potting mix.

There are many different types and shapes of pups, with multiple ways of collecting them.

With practice comes experience, if you can see it, you can separate it.

This is a "Peeper Top", after 7 days in #17 Pro Banana Mix.

These are different than a "Peeper Top", but they could be successfully separated at this point.

Instead of using a shovel, the tool of choice here would be a razor blade.
