3 of the 12 eggs lyla laid a few weeks ago were never looking good
just had a peek in the incubator (i check every 3 days) and theyre no fully caved and going a greeny colour.
i managed to get one out that was only connected by a stringy thing but the other two are fully stuck to the other GOOD eggs and i dont want to risk tearing the shells.
some mould has started to grow on on of the bad eggs, at the minute i just fully buried it in vermiculite but i fear this probably isnt helping.

Help?

It is rare that mould will grow and effect healthly eggs. I have heard of people flossing eggs to seperate them but I would just leave them togther.


A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

Spagnum moss is good to put lightly over the top of eggs as it has anti fungal properties

You could also try cutting away the bad egg, just leaving a little bit stuck to the good eggs..
probably best to just leave them though.
