Eggtastrophe

I checked eggs the eggs today. And somehow there was sime yolk seaping, the substrate made a tiny hole. I used 100 percent perlite and when i squeeze i barely get a drop. The bottoms did have small wet spots, i dont get how the bottoms were to wet when this is the reccommended moisture level. Anycase i bandaided them up and took them off the substrate . one the yolk(?) had seaped out a little as well. I bandaided it up because it was impossible to try to get it back in. So im very worried about them as they have one month left. Thoughts, opinions, and advice is highly appreciated. Needless to say im doing substrateless from now on.

Sorry to hear this about your clutch! What type of incubator and what was the temps and humidity? Did you use a lot of perlite?

Dang man, hope they pull through!

I used all perlite. I really do not know what happened. Im thinking itll be ok, but still worried

Did you use liquid band aid? I don't see how perlite could cause a hole I never heard of that before. Is it in a spot where you peeled the eggs apart? What mixture did you use exactly? The bottom of the eggs shouldn't be wet.

a similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago, the egg was only 17 days old but is still going strong. i'll post the thread here in case there's any tips there that can help you.

Good luck!

No they were just sitting on it. I didn't need to peel them apart, i found her as she was laying. I dont know the exact mix. I just add water, stir. Until i thought it was good. Thanks for the link i will definitely check it out.
