So not quite sure how this happened. But a few days ago I went to check on my upcoming hatching eggs. They're due any day so I keep a closer eye on things as the days pass. I opened the tub and I was quite amazed to find an egg had literally I guess exploded. I've never seen this before but at first I thought the baby had pipped. As I look closer I see that he's actually still in the membrane curled around the yolk. He obviously hadn't pipped yet, I decided to grab a small container and a dampened a paper towel and put it in the bottom carefully. I put The exploded egg and the baby on the paper towel and put a square of Saran wrap rubberbanded taut over the top with two small air holes. Stuck him back in the bator and hoped for the best!
Tonight I looked in on him to make sure he didn't dry out and he had broken through the membrane and has started life! I'm happy he's going to be ok. I didnt know when the issue had happened, and I didn't quite know what to do about the situation. But I'm glad he seems to be ok.
Thought I'd throw this up in case this freak thing ever should occur to anyone else. Took some pics through the process. ENJOY!
