Problems

[theturtlepond]

Some of my eggs have mold on them. I found out the perlite I was going to use had fertilizer in it. So I used it anyway until the hatch rite could get here. I set the eggs off of the perlite on some screen. I didn't want them to scratched on the screen so I put a paper towel under them. Then the paper towel got moldy and it spread to the eggs. They are on the hatch rite now but there is still a little mold on them. Should I just sprinkle some atheltes foot powder on them? I have some athlets foot cream, could I use that?

I think all you need to do is wipe the mold off and not let it spread any further than it has, if it comes back wipe it off again? not so sure about applying chemicals to a delicate egg. Maybe give each egg a gentle wipe down , or mix a very light concentration of water and alcohol and just very lightly swipe the area where the mold keeps popping up.

I personally havent heard of applying atheltes foot powder/cream to egg to stop mold, but theres a lot of things I dont know heh. Just my uneducated suggestions, dont anybody jump on me.

The first thing I did was wipe off the mold. Thanks for the help.
