After a little conversation with Heather I figured we could all learn a little something about slugs... Title says it all... lets hear some reasoning.

Re: Why do eggs slug out
I thought it was because they were never fertilized?

Re: Why do eggs slug out
i think it could have to do with infertailiztion or just to extreme of a tempature change or a climate change but i dont know as im not an expert but thats my 2 cents

The eggs slug out because they are not fertilized, sure.. But why not just reabsorb the follicles versus giving birth to slugs?

Re: Why do eggs slug out
I have never had a slug - but I have had infertile eggs - so I would think that a slug has a more underlying reason than just being infertile. I would also bemuse that since its said that big girls slug out a lot - that it may be an issue with mom or her health. Perhaps moms ova weren't right or she didn't thermo regulate herself very well during her development????? Or it could just be a quirk.
Sorry about your slugs Heather - hope you get lots next year.

Im not sure im guessing but would not be possible to break down the (egg) and absorb it back into her system ??? Heather you know the answer haha let me know
