Hi all! I got 5 eggs laid last night (with a few more to come it seems), 3 of them were slugs unfortunately, but the other two are white and look more healthy, however they are slightly squishy, as if the calcium hasn't hardened properly. They're nearly an inch long, and about a cm across, which to me seems slightly small. I've put them in an incubator anyway, as they are better in colour, but I wanted to ask if you guys think they have a chance of surviving? Thanks!

try not to move them around too much or rotate them!

I dont know why, I always thought they'd be hard.. I was careful not to squash them or rotate them at all, so they should be in the 'bator nicely. Size-wise, do they sound ok? I'll upload a pic soon!

Here's a pic of one of the eggs, my hand is a little closer to the camera than the egg, but does this help with perspective? Is this roughly the right size? Thanks!
